Former Western Michigan guard Michael Flowers and the WMU basketball program are officially at odds over the events that have transpired since Flowers entered the NCAA’s Transfer Portal back in late March.
Flowers ultimately decided to put his name in the portal after former head coach Steve Hawkins was relieved of his coaching duties after 17 seasons as the head coach of the Broncos. Hawkins recruited Flowers and helped him get through the passing of his mother, Joyce, who died his freshman year after a three year battle with pancreatic cancer.
On Tuesday, the now South Alabama guard posted a tweet accusing Western Michigan’s athletic department of “inconsistent” and “unprofessional”communication during his transfer process and that his former school ultimately caused his immediate eligibility waiver to be denied by the NCAA.
