Former Sacramento Kings point guard Mike Bibby is under investigation for his role in an alleged sexual assault, and it doesn't look good for the former player.
According to Lily Altavena of The Arizona Republic, Bibby — who is now a head high school coach in Arizona — was accused of sexually assaulting a fellow teacher two years ago at the high school where he works. The teacher, whose name has not been released, said that Bibby grabbed her by the waist on the school grounds and rubbed his genitals on her.
The teacher requested a restraining order against Mike Bibby, which the court granted on Feb. 22.
Through his attorney, Bibby categorically denied the claims:
“I can say with pretty much certainty this alleged incident didn't happen and that will be shown down the road. Michael Bibby did not participate in a sexual assault of any way, shape or form that was alleged by this lady two years ago.”
This is a far fall from grace for the man who played as a point guard for nearly 20 years in the NBA after leading the Wildcats of the University of Arizona to their only championship.
A spokeswoman from the Paradise Valley police department in Arizona confirmed the investigation against Mike Bibby:
“On February 14, 2019, PV Schools was notified that the Phoenix Police Department opened an investigation into alleged sexual abuse/harassment of a Shadow Mountain High School staff member by the boys head basketball coach, Mike Bibby. At the request of the Phoenix Police Department, the District’s internal investigation was suspended pending the conclusion of the Police Department’s active investigation into the accusations.”
