The tumultuous start to Georgia Tech’s season has taken another turn. The school placed assistant coach Darryl LaBarrie on administrative leave Wednesday as the school investigates a recently reported allegation of an NCAA rules violation.

It confirms an ESPN report Wednesday stating that LaBarrie was suspended for a matter that occurred during an official visit by a prospect who did not choose Tech.

Also, guard Justin Moore has been suspended for two games by the NCAA for rules violations. The decision was handed down Wednesday by the NCAA. Moore will miss Wednesday’s game vs. Texas-Rio Grande Valley and Friday’s game against North Texas.

The suspension follows the suspension of Okogie and Jackson for six and three games, respectively, for violating NCAA rules regarding preferential treatment.
