Report: Two UConn assistants resign
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
05/27/2010 -
Storrs, CT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The University of Connecticut has called a news
conference for 10 a.m. (et) Friday at Gampel Pavilion, when the school is
expected to disclose its review of possible recruiting violations in the men's
basketball program.
The Hartford Courant reported Thursday night that assistant coach Patrick
Sellers and director of basketball operations Beau Archibald have resigned
from the staff due to the allegations that were first reported by Yahoo!
Sports in March 2009.
UConn reportedly violated NCAA rules in the recruitment of Nate Miles, who
was expelled from school in October of 2008 without even practicing with the
Huskies. Yahoo! Sports conducted a six-month investigation and said Miles was
provided with lodging, meals and transportation by Josh Nochimson -- a
professional agent and a former UConn student manager.
Since Nochimson had a relationship with UConn basketball, the NCAA defines him
as a person with "athletic interests" for the school. Therefore, he would be
unable to be involved in the recruiting process.
The report also stated that the UConn basketball staff, including five
different coaches, had at least 1,565 phone and text communications with
Nochimson during Miles' recruitment between 2006 and 2008. Connecticut head
coach Jim Calhoun was said to have been involved in 16 of those calls.
The Yahoo! report indicated that former UConn assistant coach Tom Moore made
27 calls to people close to Miles in December 2006. The NCAA permits just one
call per month to prospective recruits in a player's junior year of high
school.
Moore, according to the Yahoo! report, knew Miles had a relationship with
Nochimson, another potential NCAA violation. Moore has since left UConn and is
the head coach at Quinnipiac University.
The report states that Nochimson advised Miles, who eventually enrolled at
UConn in June 2008 after attending five high schools in four different states.
In late September 2008, Miles was arrested by UConn campus police and issued a
restraining order after a female student said she was physically and sexually
assaulted by him. Miles then made contact with the woman, leading to felony
charges of violating a restraining order.
The school expelled Miles in early October before basketball practice began.
Miles eventually enrolled at the College of Southern Idaho.
Calhoun received a five-year contract extension through the 2014 season
earlier this month. The Courant reports Calhoun, athletic director Jeff
Hathaway and Rick Evrard, the school's outside counsel for NCAA-related
matters, will be at the press conference.
