Report: Calhoun to be cited by infractions committee

Oh, you again.
After months of radio silence, the NCAA committee of infractions is back, and this time it's gunnin' for Jim Calhoun.
So says ESPN's Andy Katz, who, citing a source, reports the committee will cite Calhoun for "failing to create an atmosphere of compliance" when it finally releases its ruling on alleged recruiting violations on a conference call today at 3 p.m. ET.
A postseason ban is not included, Katz reports, but former assistant Beau Archibald, UConn's own Wee Bey, will likely get thrown to the wolves ... again.
The university issued self-imposed restrictions, including the reduction of scholarships, in response to the NCAA in early October. But it went out of its way to protect Calhoun in its written response, almost to the point of alleviating him from the blame. Which, I'm guessing, didn't sit too well with the committee.
We'll find out for certain this afternoon.
In conclusion: Go to hell, Nate Miles.

According to Ostrut
UConns self-imposed loss of one scholarship this year and next has been extended but not increased, which I suppose means at least a third year is now added. I’m okay with that.
Seems okay based on what has been reported so far. No room for UConn to complain.
Good point
Who’s going to watch his fish?

Needs an edit
In conclusion: Go to hell, Nate Miles AND Josh Nochimson.
He was a big part of the problem too. Plus he stole money from Rip and that ain’t cool.

Edsall: Thanks for building the program, but you are a huge douche (and I hope you fail miserably in Maryland.) correction...it may have been partly Hathaway's fault, but still could have told your players in person...So I'll change my stance to: "I don't care what you do in Maryland."
1967: Embrace it
Also, prepare to see an avalanche of UConn
got off with a slap on the wrist type stories.
I’m not sure that is fair — in fact, I’m pretty sure its not, because based on the evidence I’m not sure how else you could have punished UConn. The evidence just doesn’t indicate wrongdoing that would require more penalties than some scholarship reductions.
Also notable: While Calhoun was cited and Archibald was slammed, Sellers appears to have been cleared.
not to mention the athlete never stepped onto a basketball court for us
shouldn’t be a major infraction based on recent NCAA rulings.
Somewhat Inevitable Issue for Teams
This is unfortunate for UConn, however this is a problem that a lot of teams and departments are facing. It becomes very cumbersome for a head coach to keep track of every call when they are managing a staff of up to 12 permissible recruiters who are all making contact with recruits (while trying to keep up with coaching duties, PR, etc.). Coaches simply need help keeping all of this organized and in line with compliance regulations. We believe that technology can be a great asset in assisting coaches with this burden.
