Jim "win at all costs" Harrick does it again. Figured some of you guys would be interested in this.
Did anybody else just see that report that Jeremy Schaap did on SportsCenter? (if not, it will probably be on again at 11pm)
They just a piece on how Jim Harrick and assistant Jim Harrick Jr. might have violated NCAA's rules by paying for bills and fixing grades for former Dawg Tony Cole (one of the guys that was arrested on rape charges last summer). Cole has come out with numerous violations by papa Harrick and junior.
1. A lady that Cole stayed with for a time received a wire transfer from Jim Harrick for close to $300 to pay for Cole's phone bills while he was there. She has the wire receipt with Harrick's name on it.
2. Harrick put Cole up in a Holiday Inn free of charge early in his enrollment at UGA.
3. Fixed grades while Cole was at this community college. Cole claims that two classes he had to retake because of D's...he received A's because the work was being sent to Harrick. He claims he never saw the work. His quote was something to the effect of " It obviously wasn't my work because I got A's" :-)
BTW, he took a class called "The Principles of Coaching Basketball". Taught by Harrick Jr.
We are talking BIG violations here folks...worse than anything Harrick has done at UCLA or Rhode Island before. This could (A) get him canned, or (B) get the Dawgs put on probation. I've said since the day they hired him that he'd get them put on probation before he left Athens. Looks like that day might be coming sooner that I thought...
