West Virginia University men's basketball guard Joe Mazzulla has been suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules, coach Bob Huggins announced today.

"Joe is suspended indefinitely from all basketball related activities," Huggins said in a statement. "We take violations of our team rules very seriously."

Mazzulla, who played just seven games this season because of injury, has been in trouble before.

In September, Mazzulla and teammate Cam Thoroughman pleaded guilty in City Court to summary offenses and were ordered to pay $100 in fines each plus court costs for their part in a July incident at PNC Park. They had been charged with resisting arrest and underage drinking after a scuffle at a security station where they had been detained by off-duty police officers. Mazzula also was charged with aggravated assault.
