University, Golf Coach Penalized By NCAA
Coastal Carolina's athletic department was placed on two years' probation by the NCAA and publicly reprimanded Wednesday for violations involving a former women's golf coach.
Brian Ashley was the Chanticleers coach when he gave a team member $500 to cover about two months of board and had given a graduate assistant $100 with instructions to pay another golfer's university account.
Ashley stepped down as Coastal Carolina coach a year ago.
"This case is narrow in scope but important in issues," said former Miami athletic director Paul Dee, who chaired the NCAA committee on infractions that handled the case. "It involves the knowing and willful conduct by the former head coach and could've compromised the welfare of the two student athletes."
The case involved impermissable financial aid violations and was limited to the former head coach and two student-athletes. The committee also found unethical conduct with the former head coach due to the willful and blatant nature of his violations and his refusal to cooperate fully with the investigation.
Penalties for the violations include two years of probation, public reprimand and censure, and a 30-month show-cause penalty for the former head coach.
The show-cause penalty essentially bans the former head coach from working at any NCAA institution for the next 2.5 years.
