Steve Masiello placed on leave by Manhattan after flunking background check over Kentucky degree and loses his new $5 million coaching gig at South Florida

Steve Masiello isn't the coach of South Florida, and he isn't the coach of Manhattan at the moment, either.

The Riverdale school said on Wednesday that its coach, who had one foot out the door just a day earlier, has been placed on leave while a review is conducted of his degree status at the University of Kentucky.

"As a result of a background check commissioned by the University of South Florida, Manhattan College has learned there is a question of the validity of head men’s basketball coach Steve Masiello’s undergraduate degree from the University of Kentucky," the school said in a statement.

"Masiello is currently in the process of reviewing his degree status with the University of Kentucky. Manhattan College has placed Masiello on leave while he completes this process with the University."

Masiello, 36, appeared to be on his way to the University of South Florida Tuesday, but he won’t be going to the new school because he never graduated from his first school.
