Iowa Women’s Coach Has Brush With Law

Iowa women’s basketball coach Angie Lee was arrested in front of Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Conn., Wednesday morning after bumping a state trooper.

The incident happened at 6 a.m., just hours after Lee’s 20th-ranked Hawkeyes lost to No. 3 Connecticut 65-55 in Storrs.

The players were getting off a bus to take a plane to Iowa City, when an airport police officer asked them to speed things up, police said.

“The bus was in an area not designated for loading,” said trooper Richard Alexandre, a state police spokesman.

Lee then became verbally abusive and a state trooper was called to the scene, police said.

While talking to Lee to determine what had happened and “calm things down”, the coach bumped the trooper and was arrested, Alexandre said.

“It appears as though she attempted to push the trooper with her chest,” he said.

Montana’s Krista Redpath has been named Big Sky Conference women’s basketball player of the week.

Redpath, a 6-1 junior, scored 46 points and grabbed 18 rebounds in wins over Cleveland State and Western Michigan at the Western Michigan Bronco Roundup.
