Don't you have to have at least 50,000 average attendance before you can start breaking laws?

Not in Montana you don't. That's a FINE basketball program they have up there, first their assistant coach gets picked up for DUI and now this. Not to mention the MSU football team and the Uof M Fb team and their criminal records. The state of Montana must really be proud of their college athletes.

This is acutally a Montana State Problem

BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) - Montana State University has placed assistant men's basketball coach Ryan Orton on administrative leave following his arrest early Sunday.

The school says Orton was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor partner/family assault and misdemeanor criminal destruction/tampering with a communications device.

The 34-year-old Orton came to MSU as an assistant in the spring of 2006 from Northwest Nazarene, where he had worked for one season. He had previously worked at Lane Community College and at Eastern Washington University.

MSU Athletic Director Peter Fields said Sunday he couldn't comment until more information was available.
