It looks as though the fallout of the Nate Miles investigation for the UConn Huskies men’s basketball program is beginning to happen.
First up is the press release from UConn:
The University of Connecticut is holding a press conference at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, May 28, 2010 for the purpose of announcing an update to the NCAA investigation of its men’s basketball program.
The press conference will take place in the brick foyer area at the Division of Athletics entrance to the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion in Storrs.
Materials related to the press conference subject matter will be available to the media in attendance at approximately 9:45 a.m. and will also be posted at www.UConnHuskies.com.
In attendance at the press conference will be Head Men’s Basketball Coach Jim Calhoun, Director of Athletics Jeffrey A. Hathaway and Rick Evrard, the University’s outside counsel for NCAA-related matters.
And according to Mike Anthony of the Hartford Courant, two men’s assistant coaches, Patrick Sellers and Beau Archibald, have resigned from the program.
While a press release issued Thursday night made no mention of the coaching staff, sources say assistant coach Patrick Sellers and director of basketball operations Beau Archibald have resigned from the staff in light of allegations against the program and the NCAA review.
It’s too early too speculate as far as what’s going to happen as far as any punishment for the Huskies but the resignations of Sellers and Archibald do say a lot.
Jeff Goodman of FOXSports.com tweets that former Huskies Donyell Marshall and Kevin Ollie are in the mix to take the new openings on the UConn staff. Goodman also tweeted that former Huskies assistant and current Quinnipiac head coach Tom Moore “hasn’t been charged in the investigation” and that Moore “is no longer involved in the investigation“.
Stay tuned folks, tomorrow should be an interesting morning.
