Indianapolis, IN (SportsNetwork.com) – Missouri men’s basketball coach Frank Haith was issued a five-game suspension from the NCAA as part of sanctions for the booster-related scandal at the University of Miami-Florida.<\/p>\n
Haith was the head coach at Miami for seven seasons before taking over at Missouri in April 2011.<\/p>\n
The NCAA said Haith, while at Miami, failed to meet his responsibilities as a head coach when he did not monitor the activities of his assistant coaches, and attempted to cover up the booster’s threats to disclose incriminating information.<\/p>\n
According to the NCAA, booster Nevin Shapiro entertained student-athletes and prospects at his home, on his yacht and in restaurants and clubs for a period of about a decade. Approximately 30 student-athletes were involved.<\/p>\n
“While I strongly disagree with today’s report, and the inference on how the program was run at the University of Miami, as head basketball coach during that period, I accept responsibility for all actions in and around that program,” said Haith in a statement on Tuesday. “This has been an excruciating ordeal for my family. An appeal, which would likely drag further into the season, would only prolong what has already been a lengthy and trying period of time for our student-athletes, the University of Missouri and our fans, and it’s time for closure.”<\/p>\n
Haith has guided Missouri to a record of 53-16 with a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances in his first two seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
