    It certainly could have been worse, I still think it's not fair that a player gets caught for lying (1st offense) to the NCAA and loses his entire year, while a coach loses 8 games.

    Terry,

    When this situation arose here in our basketball program, Jim O'Brien had advaced money to a player from Serbia for family expenses.

    Our AD, Andy Geiger fired him and the issue went to court. Cost the university a considerable amount of money. Take your pick.
