Todd Golden to continue as Florida basketball coach despite sexual harassment probe

University of Florida men's basketball coach Todd Golden will continue to lead the Gators, despite being the subject of an ongoing Title IX investigation into his conduct.
The school issued a statement Sunday night confirming that there is no change in Golden's status in the wake of a complaint alleging he engaged in sexual harassment, sexual exploitation, stalking and cyberstalking involving multiple women.
Golden will be courtside as the 2-0 Gators host Grambling State on Monday night.
A formal Title IX complaint was initiated Sept. 27, but was just revealed publicly on Friday when the university's student publication, The Alligator, broke the story with details corroborated by two former students.
The third-year coach confirmed Saturday that he is cooperating with the investigation and has hired attorney Ken Turkel to represent him in a possible defamation case.
Golden, 39, is 42-29 in three seasons at UF and he led the school to an NCAA Tournament appearance last season.
