A-10 CODE OF CONDUCT 1.01 The Atlantic 10 Conference is committed to developing a competitive atmosphere conducive to upholding sports-like behavior among its coaches, administrators, student-athletes, officials and spectators.

Inappropriate behavior by a spectator shall be the responsibility of the host institution, which can be subject to sanctions permitted by this code. B. Staff, Coach, Student-Athlete Awareness: The responsibility of educating staff, coaches and student- athletes relative to the Conference’s policy on breaches of the Code of Conduct shall be that of the Director of Athletics. Each of the entities must be made aware of the consequences when their actions do not characterize the high standards which must be adhered to as a representative of intercollegiate sports. C. These policies will be reviewed and approved annually by the Directors of Athletics. 1.03 The Conference office will emphasize the Code of Conduct at all championships and will also be responsible for educating all game officials in this area. 1.04 The following are specific regulations which apply to all coaching staff members, student-athletes, spectators, game officials, and representatives of the Department of Athletics staff at a member institution: A.

The Commissioner has the discretion to request this report in writing. B. The Commissioner will review the case and make a recommendation for action to the Administrative Committee for final approval. C. The institution(s) involved may appeal the decision with the Administrative Committee. The intention to appeal must be made known immediately after the original decision is reached and will be heard prior to the game in which the suspension would occur. The appeal will be handled in the manner which best facili tates this process (i.e. conference call). The decision of this appeal will be binding. NOTE: Penalties enacted by game officials within the parameter of NCAA playing rules may be utilized as sufficient sanctions. The Commissioner has the authority to determine other penalties (i.e. public reprimand, monetary fine) on a case-by-case basis, under circumstances which do not clearly warrant suspension from a contest. 2 - 2018-19 ATLANTIC 10 DIRECTORY | WWW.ATLANTIC10.COM 2018-19 DIRECTORY TABLE OF CONTENTS A-10 Mission Statement/Code of Conduct .........................................................Inside Front Cover Atlantic 10 ........................................................................................................................................................2 Davidson ............................................................................................................................................................4 Dayton ................................................................................................................................................................8 Duquesne ........................................................................................................................................................13 Fordham ..........................................................................................................................................................17 George Mason ...............................................................................................................................................21 George Washington .....................................................................................................................................26 La Salle..............................................................................................................................................................30 Massachusetts ...............................................................................................................................................34 Rhode Island ..................................................................................................................................................39 Richmond ........................................................................................................................................................43 St. Bonaventure .............................................................................................................................................47 Saint Joseph’s .................................................................................................................................................50 Saint Louis .......................................................................................................................................................54 VCU ....................................................................................................................................................................58 Lock Haven .....................................................................................................................................................63 Saint Francis (Pa.) ..........................................................................................................................................64 Administration Quick Reference .............................................................................................................65 Coaches Quick Reference ..........................................................................................................................68 Atlantic 10 Standing Committee Appointments ..............................................................................72 Atlantic 10 Sport Committee Appointments .....................................................................................74 Important Dates ............................................................................................................................................75 WWW.ATLANTIC10.COM @ATLANTIC10 /ATLANTIC10 /A10CONFERENCE Please address any changes to the Atlantic 10 office.
