reported by Dave Scott
and Bob Caster
Battalion Staff
Texas A&M Athletic Depart
ment officials say they don’t
understand why allegations of
wrongdoing have been leveled
at the Aggie basketball program.
The Albany, N.Y., Times Un
ion reported in its Tuesday edi
tion that the NCAA had hired a
private investigator to look into
the signing of freshman guard
Todd Holloway and that his
Findings had been turned over
to the NCAA.
Holloway, who attended
Christian Brothers Academy
high school in Albany, enrolled
at Texas A&M in September af
ter accepting a full four-year
scholarship offer to play at Wag
ner College in New York. The
Times Union reported that Hol
loway was on the Wagner cam
pus for three days, but attended
no classes.
NCAA rules allow an athlete
immediate eligibility at one
school if he has transferred
from another school without
having attended classes there.
David Cawood, the NCAA
director of public relations, told
The Battalion Tuesday night
the report out of Albany may
have concerned a preliminary
investigation.
“Before there is an official
investigation,” Cawood said,
“the school is always notified.”
Schools are not notified during
the NCAA’s preliminary investi
gations, he said.
The Times Union quoted
private investigator Gene
O’Neill as saying, “I did cover
the investigation for them (the
NCAA). They have the results.”
But A&M basketball coach
Shelby Metcalf says preliminary
investigation or not, the Aggies
are not guilty of any wrong
doing.
“I personally don’t think
there will be a (full-scale) investi
gation,” Metcalf said late Tues
day. “I know we didn’t do any
thing wrong.”
Metcalf said because Wagner
College does not participate in
national letters-of-intent, Hollo
way was “fair game.”
A national letter-of-intent
serves as a binding agreement
between a player and the college
he signs with.
‘‘What happened was he
(Holloway) signed with Wag
ner,” Metcalf said, “but they
don’t participate in the national
letter. His dad called us and got
Todd before classes started and
brought him down here. If
Todd would have stayed there
until 7 o’clock (when classes
started), they would have closed
the doors on him.”
In a long distance telephone
interview, Wagner College
sports information director
John Stallings told The Batta
lion it was the manner in which
Holloway left that probably
prompted the investigation.
“What was shocking to us,”
Stallings said, “was that he was
enrolled here, ready to start clas
ses, and he just disappeared in
the middle of the night. He
didn’t say anything to any of the
players or coaches. The next day
his room was empty, and (Coach
Neal) Kennett was worried ab
out what had happened to him.
“It was several days before we
found out he was at Texas
A&M.”
Both Metcalf and Stallings
said they were unaware of the
origin of the report. But Metcalf
said he didn’t think Kennett had
leveled any accusations against
the Aggies.
“I don’t get the feeling he
(Kennett) initiated it,” Metcalf
said.
Stallings said Holloway’s abs
ence on the basketball court at
the beginning of the season
raised questions concerning the
details of his departure.
“People ask about him be
cause he was in our press guide
and he was previewed as being a
good player, and now he’s not
even here. I think that’s why the
article came out in the paper.”
Like Metcalf, Stallings said he
felt the charges did not originate
from within the Wagner athletic
department.
“I don’t think we’re on a
witchhunt here,” Stallings said.
“If he wants to be at A&M, then
that’s where he needs to be.
“The major questions we
were concerned with were how
did he leave the campus and how
did he wind up at Texas A&M.
That’s probably what the NCAA
will be looking at if this is investi
gated (formally). We were never
informed about his leaving.”
Holloway, who is currently
the Aggies’ leading scorer, won
numerous awards in high
school, and was recruited by
Syracuse University as well as
Wagner and A&M. His playing
status will not be affected, A&M
officials said.
Phone calls to Holloway’s
dorm room in Cain Hall went
unanswered Tuesday night.
