From today's (1/1/94) St. Paul Pioneer Press's "Mariucci Classic Notebook"
by Gary Olson:
Maine coach returns
Black Bears coach Shawn Walsh returns to the Maine bench today
after completing a three-week suspension by his University for
failing to fully disclose a freshman's academic deficiencies.
Walsh watched Friday's semifinal game against Lake Superior State from the
press box at Mariucci Arena and may have pushed the parameters of his
suspension. He sat next to young men wearing Maine jackets and, at the
end of at least one period, huddled with one to explain a note he had
written, presumably to one of his assistant coaches. The young man took
the note and headed off in the direction of the Maine lockerroom.
The contents of the note and the young man's destination aren't known, but
there's no way Walsh can deny the appearance of pushing the limits of his
suspension.
<end quoted material>
I think Olson's last sentence appropriately addresses the "news" here, since
Walsh was not supposed to be in contact with the team. (Then again, the
note MAY just have said that he wanted onions, mustard, and relish on the
bratwurst the guy was getting him from the concession stand, for all we know!)
