Recruit Got Early Calls From Purdue
The Journal Gazette investigates Purdue University head basketball coach Gene Keady and assistant coach Frank Kendrick for violating NCAA rules by calling the home of a high school recruit before they were supposed to. The story also questions calls Keady and Kendrick made to the home of a Purdue booster after the school had severed ties with the person over NCAA violations. Two women's coaches fired for similar reasons claim a double standard at Purdue. (Dec. 22, 1996)
