On Tuesday, Sept. 21, the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions handed down probation on the Tech women’s basketball team for practice violations that took place during former head coach MaChelle Joseph’s tenure from 2016 to February 2019, when she was relieved from her post.
This marks the second time in the last few years the NCAA has sanctioned the basketball program at Tech. The men’s team was sanctioned in 2019, but the penalties were lifted this past February in time for March Madness 2021.
The women’s team’s violations included practice times going longer than NCAA rules permit, which also included practices on off days.
