School officials, including coach Jim Calhoun, were to attend Friday's on-campus event, along with attorney Rick Evrard, an outside counsel who advises UConn on NCAA-related matters. A school official said assistant coach Patrick Sellers and director of basketball operations Beau Archibald had both agreed to resign from the school in advance of the news conference. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to release the information. The Hartford Courant, citing unidentified sources, first reported the resignations Thursday. Messages seeking comment from the AP were left for Calhoun, Sellers and an NCAA official. The NCAA and the school have been investigating the program since shortly after a report by Yahoo!

The Yahoo! report also alleged that UConn coaches exceeded limits on the number of phone calls that can be made to recruits. |

Posted by John Taylor on April 27, 2010 8:19 PM ET It seems like a day doesn't go by here at High Times CFT when there's not a charge somehow related to marijuana being faced by a college football player. And today is no different. The latest to find themselves in legal bong water are a pair of Arkansas defensive backs. According to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, David "Cheech" Gordon and Hunter "Chong" Miller were arrested Monday night and charged with possession of a controlled substance. Here's the Democrat-Gazette's account of how the alleged dope duo were popped, with our emphasis added: Miller and Gordon were observed by a police officer in a university parking lot lying in the back seat of a vehicle Monday evening. The police officer approached the vehicle and could spell a strong odor of burnt marijuana, according to a preliminary arrest report. A cloud of smoke rolled out of the vehicle when Miller opened the door and a plastic bag containing a "green leafy substance" was found inside the driver's side door panel, according to the report. (Not that there's anything wrong with that, but "lying in the backseat of a vehicle"? Together?) |

The 28-year-old fifth-year pro was arrested at 4:29 a.m. Saturday, Marietta Police Officer Jennifer Murphy said. Marietta is about 15 miles northwest of Atlanta. Brown's mother, Joyce Brown, told the Associated Press in a phone interview on Monday that Brown was visiting his hometown of Cartersville for her and her husband's 32nd anniversary. She said he had eaten dinner with relatives and then went to a club. She didn't know the name of the club, but the night was not part of the anniversary celebration. She said her son was pulled over for failing to use a turn signal, but believes he was targeted because he was driving a high-priced car and is black. Aside: I did not see "driving while black" in the list of busts. Maybe we need to add that? |
