    The NCAA has accused the men's basketball program at the University of Connecticut of eight major rules violations.

    Jim Calhoun didn't do enough to monitor his assistants, according to the accusations.

    The school released its notice of allegation letter Friday following a 15-month investigation into the recruiting of former player Nate Miles.

    The violations include improper phone calls and text messages to recruits, giving recruits improper benefits and improperly distributing free tickets to high school coaches and others.

    Calhoun was cited for failing to promote an atmosphere of compliance.

    "It's not exactly, certainly anywhere near the high point of my career, as a matter of fact it's certainly one of the lowest points at any time that you are accused of doing something," said Calhoun. "It's a very serious matter."

    He never played a minute and yet it could really hurt the school.

    I mean violations are bad, but most of the time the school has the player!

    Not surprised. This tarnishes another 'legendary' college coach's resume. I wonder if Coach K will ever go down.

    Coach K will probably never go down for any violations. These are some serious infractions hanging over UConn right now. Wonder what will be done?
