Memphis sends letter alleging major violations in men's hoops to NCAA


Recommended Posts

Hours after Memphis basketball coach Penny Hardaway suddenly fired four staff members, the university confirmed the existence of an anonymous letter alleging serious NCAA violations within the Tigers' program.

The letter, which was obtained by ESPN, alleges Hardaway's personal involvement in potential recruiting and academic violations.

"The University of Memphis is aware of the anonymous letter, and it has been shared with the NCAA," university spokesperson Michele Ehrhart said in a statement to ESPN.

Hardaway announced Wednesday morning -- two months before the start of the college basketball season -- that he was firing assistant coaches Rick Stansbury, Faragi Phillips and Jamie Rosser, as well as special adviser Demetrius Dyson. Neither Hardaway nor the school provided a reason for the firings, with Hardaway saying in a statement that he "made the difficult decision to go in a new direction with our staff" and acknowledging that "the timing is not ideal."

Hardaway should be gone too if he was involved. 

Memphis has been reading the $mut playbook on violations.
