MOSCOW — Idaho senior Kyle Barone has been suspended indefinitely after a violation of team rules, coach Don Verlin said Monday. “My job is to educate student-athletes and to teach them how to conduct themselves on and off the court,” Verlin said. “We have challenged Kyle to become a first-class student and resident of Moscow. How he responds will determine his status on our basketball team.” Barone is a three-year letterwinner and enters the season as the team’s active leader in points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals. He was a 2012 second-team All-WAC honoree and a 2011 honorable mention All-WAC selection. Idaho holds its first practice Friday, and Verlin said Barone’s status will be re-evaluated as the season progresses.
