NCAA Not Happy

PrintAnyone else catch the short CBS pregame show (remember before commercials and advertising became so popular and Gumbel and the crew actually had a real pregame and postgame show?)? Apparently the statement that Jim Calhoun read, which I wrote about being a joke, was so awful that the NCAA is now even more angry with him and his program. Personally, I think Calhoun should learn how to keep his mouth shut and just avoid this problem when talking to the press. He really can only hurt himself here, and if he angers the NCAA enough, they could make the penalty harsher.
Anyone have thoughts on this?

No statement, at least that I can find
But Seth Davis said they were furious over what Calhoun had to say
I spoke too quickly
Just reading a couple of articles and looking over Calhoun’s statement, i think it is the fact that he tried to make it seem like it had to with Miles’s eligibility. In the statement he highlighted the fact that Miles never played for UConn and therefore this season and the results could not be nullified by the NCAA. This, of course, has nothing to do with the player’s eligibility (or at least at the moment, although he could lose his eligibility for his involvement with the agent) as it does with Calhoun and his staff’s blatant disregard for recruiting rules.
