Former Vanderbilt and Pitt head coach Kevin Stallings was hit with a three-year show-cause order today by the NCAA. The penalty comes from violations during his time at Pitt. According to the report released by the NCAA, some of the infractions included:

“…the former head men’s basketball coach (Stallings) instructed and allowed three noncoaching staff members to perform coaching duties, resulting in the program exceeding the number of permissible coaches. The agreement said the former men’s basketball coach developed an alert system to ensure noncoaching staff would not be caught on the practice floor coaching student-athletes. The former head coach also ordered the deletion of practice video in an apparent attempt to prevent the administration from confirming violations had occurred.”

“The former men’s basketball coach did not promote an atmosphere for compliance, according to the agreement. The former men’s basketball coach was involved directly in the violations, and he did not end the violations after being warned by athletics department administrators.”

…the men’s basketball program impermissibly produced personalized recruiting videos for 12 prospects to watch during their official or unofficial visits to campus.

Stallings penalty according to the NCAA is “a three-year show-cause order. If he is employed by a member school during that time, he must be suspended from 30% of the first season of his employment.”

The Pittsburgh football team was also cited for violations. The complete list of penalties levied upon the basketball and football programs is:

• Three years of probation.
• A $5,000 fine plus 0.5% of each of the men’s basketball and football budgets.
• A show-cause order for the head football coach withholding him from two days of team practices in August 2020. He also did not participate in one week of off-campus recruiting during the Dec. 1, 2019, through Feb. 1, 2020, contact period.
• A three-year show-cause order for the former men’s basketball coach. If he is employed by a member school during that time, he must be suspended from 30% of the first season of his employment.
• A three-year show-cause order for the former director of basketball operations. During that period, any NCAA member school employing him must restrict him from any athletically related duties unless it shows cause why the restrictions should not apply.
• A reduction in men’s basketball recruiting person days by 17 during the 2017-18 academic year.
• A reduction in the number of men’s basketball countable coaches by one at regular practice for 16 hours during the 2019-20 academic year.
• A reduction in men’s basketball countable athletically related activities hours in the spring of 2020 from 20 to 18 (in-season) and eight to seven (out-of-season).
• A reduction of countable athletically related activities for the football program by eight hours and the number of countable coaches by one for two days of practice during the 2018 football season.
• A reduction in the number of football countable coaches by one for four days of practice in the 2019-20 academic year.
