I’m not sure that “stepped down” is exactly accurate – at least at the moment. At present he has taken a leave of absence, with pay, but is still considered the Head Coach.

How long the leave lasts – or whether it becomes permanent – likely depends on what evidence comes out of HC’s investigation and/or depositions.

Here is a link to a detailed article in the local Worcester paper: http://www.goleopards.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/john_oconnor_88241.html
