On October 29, Victor Dorsey was reported to be suspended for the first three games of the season due to an unspecified violation of team rules.[4] On November 6, it was announced that Jason Pimentel was suspended indefinitely following a violation of team policy, relating to an arrest.[5] On November 13, Quincy Taylor was ruled ineligible and was required by the NCAA to sit out three games, due to participation in an unauthorized basketball program.[6] On February 14, 2015, Pimentel was restored to the team at the direction of athletic director Troy Austin, following his being found guilty and appealing the conviction to the Prince Edward County circuit court.[7][8]
