Kansas hoops, football player arrested near campus

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) Kansas basketball player Jamari Traylor and football player Rodriguez Coleman were arrested about an hour apart early Sunday near campus.

Traylor, a junior forward and part-time starter, was arrested shortly after 2 a.m. for interfering with a police officer, according to the Douglas County Sherriff's Office. He posted $100 bond and was released.

Kansas coach Bill Self said he was aware of the arrest and gathering information, and that ''this will certainly be addressed.'' Self did not say whether Traylor would travel for the No. 11 Jayhawks' game Wednesday night at Georgetown.

Coleman, a wide receiver who just finished his senior season, was arrested shortly before 2 a.m. on suspicion of battery. He posted $100 bond and also was released.
