Former UVA Coach Leitao, DePaul Sanctioned

We’re on record as not being big fans of Dave Leitao. At Virginia his public behavior verged on abusive. You wonder what he was like behind closed doors.

Now at DePaul, Leitao has been suspended for three games next season and DePaul got three years after a staff member moved in with a recruit for two weeks to help make sure he could gain eligibility. From ESPN:

“Per the NCAA release, a former associate head coach, who received a three-year show cause order, arranged for the assistant director of basketball operations to live with a prospect who’d failed to meet NCAA eligibility requirements and had to take additional measures to complete the coursework to gain eligibility.
