FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — Larry Eustachy has agreed to step down as men’s basketball coach at Colorado State, ending a “climate assessment” of the program led by athletic director Joe Parker. Eustachy agreed to resign and amend his contract, which will now pay him $750,000 in three installments over the next two years. He’ll remain on paid leave until June 30, at which time he’ll formally resign, the university announced Monday. The assistant coaching staff will be retained through the end of June.
Eustachy’s decision to resign and amend his contract means there will be no conclusions or recommendations associated with Parker’s investigation into Eustachy’s behavior and interactions with players and staff, the school said.
Parker has not divulged what prompted the investigation.
Eustachy was in his sixth season at Colorado State, which first looked into his behavior in 2013-14 when Jack Graham was athletic director. That investigation determined Eustachy emotionally and verbally abused his players and created an atmosphere of fear and intimidation, but he retained his job.
In a statement Monday, Eustachy said he was honored and thankful to serve as the Rams’ coach but added, “At the end of the day, it is time for me to step aside and allow Colorado State to open a new chapter of Rams basketball. Likewise, this also gives me a chance to hit the reset button and then put all my energy into future opportunities.”
Eustachy was 122-79 at CSU and is 524-337 in 27 seasons at Colorado State, Southern Mississippi, Iowa State, Utah State and Idaho. His best season was 1999-2000, when Eustachy had Jamaal Tinsley and Marcus Fizer running the show and helping Iowa State to a 32-5 record, along with a spot in the Elite Eight. For that, Eustachy was named AP coach of the year. Shortly after his resignation at Iowa State in 2003, Eustachy went into rehabilitation to treat alcoholism.

DELHI, Iowa (AP) — Investigators have seized a trove of electronic devices from a northeastern Iowa cabin owned by a prominent youth basketball coach under investigation for allegedly making videos of naked boys. Greg Stephen, co-director of the Iowa Barnstormers, left the traveling youth organization Thursday after agents searched his Monticello home.
Newly available documents show agents also searched a cabin in a recreation area near Lake Delhi. Investigators say Stephen occasionally spent weekends there and used it for summertime group gatherings with players. Agents seized smartphones, tablets, flip phones, hard drives, thumb drives, memory cards and digital video cassettes.
Stephen hasn’t been charged and his father says he’s done nothing wrong. The searches came after a source gave police a device from Stephen’s home that contained video clips of underage males disrobing in a hotel bathroom.
Several Barnstormers players have gone on to play Division I college basketball.

Nine charitable organizations are sharing half of the profits from a record-setting event in central Iowa last summer. Gregg Carlson served as the 2017 president of Des Moines Golf and Country Club, which hosted the Solheim Cup in August. Carlson says an announcement made this weekend marked the culmination of six years of work. “We were able to put a ribbon on the entire event by coming out with donations of $250,000 to nine different charities in central Iowa,” Carlson said.
The Solheim Cup is a biennial professional women’s golf tournament. Around 120-thousand (120,000) people, a Solheim Cup record, were at Des Moines Golf and Country Club (DMGCC) to watch the best women’s golfers from the United States defeat Europe in match play competition. A committee, comprised of DMGCC members, chose the charities that will split a-quarter-of-a-million dollars. “The charities (are) all focused on serving causes related to women and children’s needs here in central Iowa,” Carlson said.
The nonprofits benefiting from the donation include the Boys and Girls Club of Central Iowa, the Children’s Cancer Connection, Iowa Homeless Youth Centers, and Youth Emergency Services & Shelter. Other nonprofit charities were presented with a combined 154-thousand dollars ($154,000) before and during the Solheim Cup. “So, our total (charitable donations) is actually over $400,000,” Carlson noted.
According to Carlson, the Solheim Cup, held last August 14-20, pumped more than $34 million into the Des Moines area economy. Local charities will now share in the community’s support of the event. The first Solheim Cup was held in 1990. “We’re the first club to really do this with the Solheim Cup – to donate a major share of its profits,” Carlson said. “We’re really proud of that.”
The 2019 Solheim Cup will take place in Perthshire, Scotland.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Jordan Bohannon’s tremendous 3-point shooting — and the respect he showed in preserving a record held by Iowa legend Chris Street — gave Hawkeyes fans a rare reason to smile at the tail end of a dismal season.
Bohannon scored 25 points with seven 3s and Iowa held off Northwestern 77-70 in its home finale on Sunday night, snapping a six-game losing streak. Luka Garza had 18 points for the Hawkeyes (13-18, 4-14), who locked down the No. 12 seed for next week’s Big Ten tournament with its first victory in nearly a month. They’ll face Illinois on Wednesday in New York.
Bohannon had a chance to break the school record for consecutive free throws of 34 held by Street, who died in a car accident midway through the 1993 season, late in the second half. But Bohannon, an Iowa native, pointed to the sky and intentionally missed the free throw that would’ve knocked Street out of the record books — with Street’s parents in attendance. “That’s not my record to have. That record deserves to stay in his name,” Bohannon said. “It’s been on my mind for a while….life is a lot bigger than basketball.”
“A family member of ours was taken from us. We remember that,” McCaffery said of Bohannon’s gesture. This was the final home game for senior Dom Uhl, who entered play with just 65 minutes logged all season. The only player from Uhl’s class that has made a significant impact for the Hawkeyes this season is reserve redshirt junior Nicholas Baer — and he came to Iowa as a walk-on. That’s just part of the reason the program has fallen so far this season.
The Iowa Hawkeye women’s basketball team closed out its regular season at home Saturday, with a 75-62 victory over the Indiana Hoosiers. It was the seventh consecutive win for the Hawkeyes and it ended an eight-game winning streak for Indiana (16-13, 9-7).
According to HawkeyeSports.com, Iowa made 9 of 13 field goals in the first quarter (69 percent) with 10 paint points, Indiana made 2 of 13 (15.4 percent) with zero points in the paint. Hawkeye junior Megan Gustafson scored the first eight points for Iowa, which used a 10-0 run to grab a 14-5 lead. Gustafson registered her 26th double-double of the season (and 53rd of her career) with 36 points and 15 rebounds. She had 18 points and 10 rebounds by halftime.
Gustafson made 15 of 21 field goals, lifting her season field goal percentage to 66.7. She also averages 12.8 rebounds per game. Iowa’s 6-foot-3 All-America candidate received plenty of support. Sophomore Makenzie Meyer scored 13 points with two 3-pointers, senior Chase Coley added 12 points, six rebounds, and five assists, and junior Hannah Stewart scored 10 points with five rebounds in 21 minutes.
Iowa’s defense limited Indiana senior Tyra Buss to 12 points in 40 minutes. In her previous two games — wins over Nebraska and Minnesota — Buss averaged 36.5 points, shooting 52 percent from the field and 94 percent from the line. On Saturday, she was 4 of 15 from the field and 1 of 2 from the line with three 3-point field goals.
The victory over Indiana capped a 7-0 month of February for the Hawkeyes, who defeated Michigan State, Minnesota, Penn State, Northwestern, Wisconsin, Rutgers, and now Indiana.
Up next: The Hawkeyes join the other 13 league schools at the Big Ten Tournament from Feb. 28-March 4 in Indianapolis.
