SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. – Slippery Rock University director of athletics Paul Lueken announced Friday that head men's basketball coach Kevin Reynolds has been placed on administrative leave and assistant coach Ian Grady will serve as the acting head coach.
 
Due to the university policy of not commenting on personnel matters, no further statement will be made during Reynolds' administrative leave.
 
Grady will assume the role of acting head coach immediately and is expected to lead the program into its season-opener next week. Now in his 10th overall season with the Slippery Rock program, Grady has served as the top assistant since the 2011-12 season. He came to The Rock in 2009 as a graduate assistant after finishing a successful playing career at Fairmont State, where he earned a degree in business and marketing. Grady completed his master's degree in sport management at Slippery Rock in 2011 before accepting a full-time position at the university.
 
Slippery Rock is scheduled to open the season next weekend with a pair of games at Fairmont State. The Rock will play Notre Dame (Ohio) Nov. 9 in a neutral site game before playing Fairmont State Nov. 10.
