LEWISBURG, Pa. - Bucknell head men's basketball coach Pat Flannery has been given full clearance to return to his coaching duties and will be on the bench when the Bison travel to Navy on Saturday for a 7 p.m. contest.

Flannery left the bench after feeling ill during the second half of Bucknell's Jan. 30 game against Lehigh. After undergoing thorough medical evaluation and treatment, Flannery's doctors have determined the cause of the illness and have given him full authorization to resume coaching.

Since this is a personal medical situation, further specifics are being kept private at this time.

Bucknell is 10-12 overall and 5-3 in the Patriot League after Wednesday's 91-85 overtime victory at Colgate.
