Saint Leo University’s Isaiah Hill has been suspended after video captured him level Nova Southeastern University guard Nick Smith with a vicious elbow. Hill was suspended on Monday following the incident over the weekend. Director of Athletics at Saint Leo, Fran Reidy, said in a statement on Monday: “Isaiah’s conduct on the court is not an accurate representation of Saint Leo’s core values. Saint Leo University holds its students to high standards of moral and ethical conduct as a reflection of its Benedictine values. Upon review of Isaiah’s actions this past Saturday, he will not represent Saint Leo University in competition for the remainder of 2019.”
University president Jeffrey Senese seconded Reidy's statement, “I support the decision of our coach and athletics administration. This type of conduct will not be tolerated. I am saddened by this event as this behavior does not reflect who we are at Saint Leo University and apologize for any comments that suggest otherwise.”
