CBKB: UK reports minor basketball violations


Associated Press

LEXINGTON, Ky. � The University of Kentucky has told the NCAA it disciplined a former men�s basketball administrative assistant for a secondary rules violation.

In response to an open records request by The Associated Press, UK released information about the self-reporting of several minor violations from its sports programs. Among them was an admission that Bilal Batley broke NCAA rules when he shagged rebounds with an unnamed student-athlete at a gym.
Batley was issued a letter of admonishment, according to the report. UK athletics spokesman DeWayne Peevy said he has resigned from the program but couldn�t confirm the reason.
One other men�s basketball violation involved a high school basketball camp that advertised a UK player might appear. The university listed that violation as inadvertent.
