Cal Hoops Gets Probation For Phone Calls

The NCAA has put Cal's men's basketball program on two years probation for making more than 300 impermissible recruiting phone calls.

The sanctions add some odds and ends to the self-imposed sanctions after reporting the 365 calls. Head Coach Mike Montgomery and three assistants already have served penalties limiting contact with recruits. One unidentified assistant will also not be allowed to make phone calls for a two-month period- from March 12 to June 11.

The only other additional penalties handed out were a limit of five official paid visits for the next two academic years, a public reprimand and a requirement that Montgomery and two assistants must attend a rules seminar.

The HQ guesses that's like having someone attend an anger management class or a defensive driving course...

Or something...
