Texting slur dooms coach

Chaminade, the tiny Catholic university in Hawaii that hosts the high-profile Maui Invitational every year, has placed assistant men's basketball coach Mike Mathey on leave while investigating a text message he sent to a player that allegedly contained a racial slur.

Television station Hawaii News Now reported that Mathey intended to send the text to a friend, but mistakenly sent it to the player who was not identified. The school said the slur thought to be in the text was the N-word.
