Buzz Williams suspended two games for minor NCAA infractions

The NCAA announced on Friday that the Texas A&M men’s basketball has been found in violation of multiple NCAA rules, and as a result, head coach Buzz Williams will be suspended two game.

The violations are outlines below, and boy do they seem to amount to a whole bunch of nothing.

The university, a men’s basketball assistant coach, the men’s basketball head coach and NCAA enforcement staff agreed that the program violated multiple NCAA recruiting rules. Specifically, the head coach had impermissible contact with a prospect during an evaluation period. 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.
