The Maryland men’s and women’s basketball programs were found to have broken separate NCAA rules, resulting in penalties for each team.
In a statement released by the NCAA, the men’s basketball program was noted to have exceeded the number of permissible countable coaches, while the women’s program violated recruiting rules.
The men’s violations are noted to have occurred from July 2017 until February 2018, when the Director of Player Personnel at the time, Matt Brady, helped coach a student-athlete with his shooting form 10 times in a three-month period. He admitted during an investigation that he knew the assistance was against NCAA rules, and conducted the sessions without the knowledge of the coaching staff.
