UConn reported meeting with agent, concluded no violation occurred, emails show
>>A former UConn assistant coach met with Christian Dawkins and Merl Code, two of the central figures in a scandal that rocked the college basketball world, in a Las Vegas hotel last July.
According to emails obtained by Hearst Connecticut Media via a Freedom of Information Act request, UConn reported the details of the meeting to the NCAA after the assistant coach made athletic director David Benedict aware of the situation. The school concluded that no violations occurred.
The incident had no connection to the school’s firing of former head coach Kevin Ollie for “just cause” on March 10, according to sources close to the situation.<<
>>There is no mention of which UConn assistant coach attended the meeting in any of the emails. UConn’s assistants at the time were Raphael Chillious, Dwayne Killings and Ricky Moore. Chillious was in Las Vegas on July 28, per a post on his Twitter feed, but other UConn asssistants may have been in Las Vegas at the time.<<
