Statement from NABC Executive Director Jim Haney

NABC Executive Director Jim Haney released the following statement.

The following is a statement from NABC Executive Director Jim Haney regarding Tuesday’s announcement by the United States Justice Department on charges of fraud and corruption in men’s college basketball.
“Tuesday’s allegations of recruiting improprieties across the college basketball landscape have shaken the game and the coaching profession to the core. As role models and leaders of young men, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of lawful, ethical behavior – on and off the court. These actions, if proven true, are not indicative of the character of the greater college coaching community, and we remain confident in our NABC members’ shared commitment to integrity. Should the progression of this case ultimately indicate a pressing need for reform within our sport, the NABC will unquestionably be on the forefront of those efforts.”
