Austin suspended

Hamilton Tiger-Cats head coach Kent Austin has been suspended for one game and fined $10,000 for making contact with an official during a game last week.

Austin, who also serves as the Ticats’ vice-president of football operations, will be barred from the sidelines for Hamilton’s game against visiting Calgary on Saturday.

This marks the first time in CFL history that a coach has been prevented from being with his team on the sidelines for a game.
