The wife of disgraced former University of Michigan coach Sherrone Moore called 911 before he was arrested over allegations of assault on Wednesday — worried about his mental health, according to dispatch audio.
Kelli Moore told dispatchers that her husband was “suicidal … for losing his job today,” according to communications between dispatchers and police Wednesday that were obtained by the Detroit News.

It came as another call came from the home of his executive assistant, Paige Shiver, with a female caller claiming he was “attacking her” and had been stalking her for months.
The caller at that home also claimed Moore walked in with a knife and threatened to harm himself, according to the audio. It was not clear if the caller was Shiver.
Officers later said that “according to wife and (Moore’s) mother, he is in an unknown parking lot somewhere. We are attempting to have wife contact him to try and come home,” according to the Detroit News.
