Maryland assistant coach Matt Brady has been suspended for six games. According to the Baltimore Sun, Brady was suspended for violations of NCAA rules involving working with players while in a non-coaching role. Brady, the former head coach at James Madison and Marist, joined the Terps staff prior to last season in a non-coaching role. Maryland head coach Mark Turgeon told the Sun, “We identified some violations from last season regarding coaching versus non-coaching responsibilities and have decided to self-impose a six-game suspension for Matt Brady beginning with tonight’s exhibition. As a staff, we have cooperated fully with our compliance office to ensure this will not happen again.” The full story can be found HERE.

An article in today’s Oregonian reveals that “Oregon men’s basketball assistant coach Tony Stubblefield traded 20 calls and logged two hours of phone time with the same basketball middleman found guilty this month of conspiring to pay $100,000 to send a blue-chip prospect to the University of Louisville.” Also, according to the report, “the content of the calls is not known, and the volume is not evidence of wrongdoing. But the records raise new questions about Oregon’s willingness to repeatedly engage with a talent hustler.” More on this story HERE.
