UNDATED (AP) — The University of Memphis and men’s basketball coach Penny Hardaway reportedly have been accused of serious violations of NCAA rules, including failing to cooperate with an investigation.
The Daily Memphian and The Commercial Appeal reported that they obtained copies of a notice of allegations from an investigation by the NCAA’s Independent Accountability Resolution Process.
The newspapers also obtained a response from the university denying the allegations. The university said the notice “contains no specific facts, and it is the specific facts that are imperative for the resolution of this matter.”
Also in men’s basketball:
— Rob Lanier is the new head coach at SMU after taking Georgia State to the NCAA Tournament this season. Lanier was 53-30 in his three seasons at Georgia State. Tim Jankovich announced his retirement Tuesday after six seasons as the Mustangs’ coach.
