The Texas A&M men’s basketball program violated numerous NCAA rules, the Division I Committee on Infractions announced Friday.
According to the release, the university, head coach Buzz Williams, an assistant coach and the NCAA enforcement staff agreed that the school violated multiple NCAA recruiting rules.
“Specifically, the head coach had impermissible contact with a prospect during an evaluation period,” the release said. “The assistant coach violated NCAA rules when he observed a prospect participating in an open gym during an unofficial visit and later conducted two 45-minute tryouts with that prospect, during which he provided coaching instruction.
