Kevin Ollie
Did anyone else see that blurb at the bottom of the screen during Tulane/Memphis about NCAA charging Ollie with coaching infractions? What's that all about?

Re: Kevin Ollie
ESPN has a breaking story:
Looks like lying directly to the NCAA about some things we know happens all the time. Head Coaches are getting targeted by NCAA especially for lying. Probably learned from Larry Brown:
"Ollie is specifically accused of arranging a five-star recruit's phone calls with Allen and Gay; having impermissible contact with a recruit; providing impermissible meals to a pair of recruits during unofficial visits; shooting with a recruit during an unofficial visit; failing to monitor Hamilton, who the NCAA alleged violated rules by training UConn players on campus and near his home in Atlanta; and giving Hamilton tickets to a UConn-South Florida football game, an NCAA violation because Hamilton's son was a recruitable prospect at the time, per the NCAA."

Re: Kevin Ollie
Would UConn be punished for this?

Re: Kevin Ollie
I doubt it but who knows? Ollie will likely be banned from coaching in college ranks again any time soon, but won't keep him off some NBA bench.Terry Webster wrote:Would UConn be punished for this?
