New UNM Athletics Director, Fernando Lovo, addressed allegations involving the men’s basketball team during his introduction to the Lobo family. The allegations stem from an alleged fight between two players on a flight to a tournament in California. Attorney David Adams, representing the alleged victim, Shane Douma-Sanchez, stated they are seeking accountability and resolution from the university. Meanwhile, head coach Richard Pitino refrained from commenting on the investigation but mentioned following protocols and handling internal discipline matters. Lovo, who assumed office shortly after the incident, expressed his intent to understand the situation and rely on the existing team’s expertise. The university is conducting investigations in line with student and student athlete codes of conduct. The attorney representing the other player involved denied the allegations, emphasizing the importance of truth. UNM noted adherence to state and federal laws in handling such cases. Lobo basketball fans remain eager as the team gears up for their first conference game amid these ongoing developments.
