Police are investigating an incident on the court following Boston College's loss to Florida State on Sunday.

According to the Tallahassee Democrat, an FSU band member has filed a police report with the FSUPD that claims the band member was "shoved" by assistant coach Bonzie Colson after the Seminoles took down the Eagles 62-47.

"I … was exiting the basketball court and found myself stuck between the media table and the basketball team," the student wrote in the report, according to Tallahassee.com. "A coach was in my way … I looked at him and said, 'excuse me.' He took his hands, one on each of my shoulders, and shoved me by him."

The report was taken by an off-duty officer at the Civic Center and is being investigated by campus police. Two students submitted written witness statements as well.

"BC officials have been made aware of the alleged incident and will gather the facts with the parties involved when they return," BC sports information director Chris Cameron said.

Colson is in his ninth season on the BC staff and also serves as the director of basketball operations.
