Michigan suspends coach
Moeller arrested in weekend fight
The Associated Press
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — James Duderstadt stood in the glare of television lights, trying to explain yet another brush with the law concerning his athletic department.
The University of Michigan president announced Monday that football coach Gary Moeller was being suspended with pay while the school investigated his weekend fight in a restaurant and scuffle with police.
Southfield police said Moeller on Friday night was asked to leave the Excalibur restaurant by the manager, then refused to leave when an officer asked and finally became verbally abusive to police before he struck one of them.
"He was singing, he was attempting to dance with a few patrons, he was monopolizing the time-of the waitresses and overall being loud and obnoxious," detective Reginald Phillips told WBK-TV in Southfield.
Moeller, 54, was released on bond after he was arrested on misdeaner charges of disorderly conduct and assault and battery.
The charges carry a $500 maximum fine and 90 days in jail penalty.
For Duderstadt, suspending Moler was not a job the head of a large, proud research institution cherished. Yet trouble somehow keeps finding Michigan athletics. In the past two years:
Two players from the "Fab Five" basketball team and two others from the Wolverines football team were accused of stealing beer.
Three football players admitted
The hockey coach was arrested for urinating in public.
A football player was suspended for throwing a student through a plate-glass window.
guilt in stealing a credit card and buying merchandise with it.
A football player was arrested for mistakenly shooting at police officers.
"The University of Michigan is a large place," Duderstadt said. "On occasion, such unfortunate incidents occur. In the end, those of us in leadership positions have to accept responsibility for that."
Duderstadt said assistant Lloyd Carr was the interim coach. He said it was too soon to say whether Moeller might be fired.
"Such incidents are always quite unfortunate. And when such misfortunes occur, we obviously are sorry and if necessary make the appropriate apologies and take the necessary action."
Moeller, who faces arraignment Monday, has declined comment, citing an attorney's advice.
Moeller has guided the Wolverines to Big Ten championships in 1991 and 1992 and shared a conference title in 1990. Moeller is 44-13-3 since taking over from Bo Schembechler at the start of the 1990 season.
