Florida issued a statement regarding head basketball coach Todd Golden Sunday night following a report of serious accusations against the head coach.
On Friday, it was reported that Golden was being accused by an “undefined number” of women for sexual harassment and repeated instances of stalking. Golden addressed that report on Saturday in a statement and said he was engaged with an attorney about a potential defamation suit.
Sunday night, Florida issued a brief statement confirming Golden’s status to begin the week. According to that statement, Golden’s status as the head basketball coach “has not changed” at this point in time.
Florida will face Grambling in a nonconference matchup Monday night, and Golden will coach the Gators in that game.
Update from Gainesville: “Todd Golden’s status as UF men’s basketball coach has not changed,” according to a University Athletic Association spokesperson. Golden will coach Monday night’s game vs. Grambling State. He’s been the subject of an investigation since late September.
