FORT COLLINS — Three weeks have passed since Colorado State men’s basketball coach Larry Eustachy was placed on administrative leave. And do players have any idea how close the program is to a final resolution for its investigation into his conduct?

“Nope,” junior guard Prentiss Nixon said Tuesday. “I’m in the dark just like all of y’all are in the dark.”

CSU (11-17, 4-11 MW) hosts Boise State at 7 p.m. Wednesday and interim coach Jase Herl said his primary goal is returning a sense of “normalcy” for a team that has had no such luxury. The Rams have played for three head coaches this season, are 1-8 over their last nine games, and have not received an update from athletic Joe Parker concerning the status of CSU’s internal “climate assessment” since Herl replaced former interim coach Steve Barnes on Feb. 10.

“The position that we’re in now, if something changes tomorrow, we’ll take that head on,” Herl said. “But as of right now, we’re trying to go forward to keep it normal and keep it routine with these guys — but still keep them on their toes, challenge them and make things competitive.”

A source told The Denver Post last week that the investigation had concluded.

With only three games left before the Mountain West tournament begins March 7 in Las Vegas, Herl is limited in enacting meaningful change that might alter the course of a difficult season. Although CSU has taken some steps.

Herl opened the first 30 minutes of practice to reporters Tuesday and players were upbeat and energetic through the course of several drills. Over the past two days, Herl and select Rams handed out fliers and met with students at several locations on campus to drum up support for the team’s remaining pair of home games. And the best news of all arrived early Tuesday when CSU guard J.D. Paige was medically cleared to return from a broken right hand that held him out the previous six games.

“We’ve been going through (the investigation) for three weeks now and we’re kind of getting a little past it as a team,” CSU center Nico Carvacho said. “We’ve got three games left and the conference tournament to focus on. We’re going to let (the administration) deal with what they have to deal with.”

On Feb. 8, Parker released a statement that the university “intends resolve this as soon as possible.”

The wait continues.

“I just play basketball here,” Nixon said. “I let them worry about the political stuff that goes on.”
