Andy Kennedy is shown here following his arrest in December.

Ole Miss basketball coach Andy Kennedy pleaded guilty Monday in Cincinnati to a charge of disorderly conduct. UM athletic director Pete Boone said that Kennedy will keep his job. The charge stemmed from a confrontation between Kennedy and a taxi driver last December.

Kennedy, who apologized, was sentenced to six months probation, a $100 fine and 60 hours of community service. A civil suit between Kennedy, the driver and a witness is still pending.

Ole Miss said Kennedy's contract will not receive its usual one-year extension at this time.
