Report: UConn Alleges NCAA Violations Under Former Coach Kevin Ollie
UConn and the NCAA concluded in investigations that former men’s head basketball coach Kevin Ollie violated NCAA rules, reports the Hartford Courant.
According to the Courant, Ollie reportedly set up a call between a recruit and former UConn star Ray Allen, shot baskets with a recruit during an official visit and knew multiple players worked with an outside trainer on campus and in Atlanta.
Ollie was fired in March “for just cause.” The paper reports the violations therefore form the case to justify Ollie's termination without receiving the remaining $10 million on his contract.
Among the documents the Courant uncovered was a letter from athletic director David Benedict scolding Ollie.
