3/29 – Penders Calls Out NCAA Cheaters

Tom Penders, long-time NCAA men’s basketball coach, said today on The Sports Junkies on 106.7 The Fan, that any college basketball coach who mentions using Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) coaches or associates is cheating in the recruiting of high school athletes in some way.  Penders also praised Maryland Head Coach Gary Williams for being the only coach speaking out on the issue of using these AAU agents, and said Williams runs a clean program.  Penders will also appear on HBO’s next Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel entitled the “State of College Sports in America,” where the show’s correspondents examine the controversial role of today’s NCAA, and the recruiting practices employed by the schools. The episode airs March 30 at 10 pm EST.
