According to the ruling;

The provisions of this suspension require that the head coach not be present in the arena where the games are played and have no contact or communication with members of the men’s basketball coaching staff and student-athletes during the suspension period. The prohibition includes all coaching activities for the period of time which begins at 12:01 a.m. the day of the first conference game and ends at 11:59 p.m. on the day of the fifth conference game. During that period, the head coach may not participate in any activities including, but not limited to, team travel, practice, video study and team meetings. The results of those contests from which the head coach is suspended shall not count in his career coaching record.

My question is, What if they have a non-league game stuck in the middle of those 5 games? last season their first game was Virginia and then they played IU before going on to more league games. Does he get to coach the non league game or does he miss all games?

The only reason I ask is there is a scenario where he could not be coaching the UK/UL game if it fell in between league games.
 
I anticipate part of Rick's appeal to the NCAA will be to suspend him for the UK game. I doubt very seriously he is looking forward to coming t Rupp. LOL!
