Saint Mary's coach Randy Bennett is coaching with a broken left thumb after a locker room mishap.

Bennett was injured after the 21st-ranked Gaels' 71-64 win at Loyola Marymount on Thursday night. He opened the locker room door and a white board fell on his thumb.

The school says Bennett had surgery in Los Angeles about 2 a.m. on Friday and rejoined the team in time for a flight to Utah. Bennett is coaching Saturday night's game at BYU with a cast on his left thumb.
