Harrick says he owns a letter from the NCAA exonerating him from any wrong-doing regarding this incident. [1] At Rhode Island he had been accused of sexual misconduct with a secretary in the athletic offices and of giving players access to privileges not permitted by NCAA regulations.

At Georgia, Harrick's son, Jim Harrick, Jr. , got into trouble for paying the $300 phone bill of one of his players, Tony Cole, and for providing an easy exam to Georgia basketball players for a class that he taught. Georgia's basketball program pulled itself from the 2003 SEC and NCAA Tournaments in the midst of the controversy, and was forced to forfeit 30 wins from 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 as well as one scholarship for the next 3 seasons.
