TUCSON, Ariz. - Former Arizona Wildcats basketball and NBA star Mike Bibby was accused of sexual abuse and harassment.

According to the Arizona Republic, a female teacher at Shadow Mountain High School -- where Bibby coaches basketball -- says Bibby grabbed her by the waist and pulled her into his care on school grounds in February 2017.

Phoenix police are investigating the claims. Bibby's attorney denies the accusation.

Bibby, who helped lead Arizona to the 1997 NCAA title and played in the NBA from 1998 to 2012, just led Shadow Mountain to a fourth straight state championship.
