The University of Maine athletic department suspended women's basketball associate head coach Kathy Karlsson for three games Saturday following an unspecified violation of team rules. Brett Williamson, associate athletic director for media relations at UMaine, would not comment further on the matter. Maine State Police confirmed that Karlsson was pulled over on Nov. 6, but declined to comment on any particulars. It was not known at the time of publication whether the incident was related to her suspension.
Karlsson was born in Auburn and received her undergraduate degree in education from UMaine. While a student, she spent three seasons playing for the basketball team. A relatively recent addition to the program, she joined as associate head coach during the summer of 2005 after six seasons as an assistant coach at Merrimack College in Massachussetts. Prior to Merrimack, Karlsson served as assistant head coach for Boston University's women's basketball team.
In her absence, the lady Black Bears won their season opener against William & Mary Saturday night at Alfond Arena.
