's basketball coach C. Vivian Stringer for one game for misusing practice players.

Stringer will miss the Scarlet Knights' game against Seton Hall on Wednesday. She is third among women's coaches on the all-time victories list with 838 wins and was enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame last September.

Associate head coach Carlene Mitchell will be the acting head coach against Seton Hall.

Stringer violated an NCAA bylaw which states that managers may not participate as practice players with the institution's team if they are not eligible student-athletes.

The Scarlet Knights have struggled this season, going 13-10, including a loss to lowly George Washington. They sit in sixth place in the Big East conference.
