The NCAA announced level II coaching violations committed by Pitt's men's basketball and football programs on Thursday, including giving a three-year show cause to former Panthers men's basketball coach Kevin Stallings.
Between June 2016 and March 2018, Stallings, who was unnamed in the NCAA's report, allowed non-coaching staff members to regularly perform coaching duties. This resulted in in the program exceeding the number of permissible coaches.
At the direction of Stallings, the men's basketball program deleted practice film in an attempt to hide the violations and prevent the administration from detecting it.
"The former men's basketball coach did not promote an atmosphere for compliance," the NCAA said.
