The University of Connecticut claimed it fired Kevin Ollie as the result of illegal practices committed by the head coach, per Dom Amore and Dave Altimari of the Hartford Courant.
Among the NCAA violations allegedly committed, Ollie facilitated a phone call between a recruit and former UConn star Ray Allen as well as getting a personal friend, Derrek Hamilton, to train his players off-campus in 2015-16.
These transgressions could prevent the school from paying the coach the remaining $10 million owed on his contract.
