The University at Albany says it has concluded its investigation after the school received a complaint against head men’s basketball coach Dwayne Killings.

A UAlbany investigation concluded there was “inappropriate physical contact between Coach Killings and a student-athlete during a pre-game hype circle immediately prior to a road game on November 24, 2021, and that the incident was never reported to administration,” according to a statement released by the school on Saturday.

The university’s investigation concluded that it was an isolated incident. Killings admitted his mistake, apologized and will keep his job, the school said Saturday in a statement.

Killings will receive a five-game suspension, to be served during the 2022-23 season, fined $25,000, which will be donated to a local not-for-profit organization chosen by the university, and undergo mandatory training on university reporting policies. Killings had been placed on an alternative assignment while the investigation took place.

UAlbany said in a statement that the school has confidence that Killings can continue to effectively lead the men’s basketball program.

Albany went 13-18 in Killings’ first season. The former assistant at Marquette finished out the season, which ended in early March with a loss to Hartford in the America East Conference Tournament. Then, he was placed on an alternative assignment away from the basketball program during the investigation, which included interviews with all parties and any witnesses willing to participate.

Killings given a five-year contract when he was hired a year ago to succeed Will Brown, who coached the Great Danes for two decades and led them to five NCAA Tournament appearances.

Brown left after the 2020-21 season, the team’s third straight losing campaign.

Killings released a letter to the community, which can be read below:
