I’ve spent much of the day calling around seeking reaction to a report by FanHouse.com that alleges multiple NCAA violations by the USF men’s basketball program. The few boosters I have spoken with remain supportive of Coach Stan Heath.

Here is reaction from longtime Bulls Club board of director member Dave Goldstein:

“I think Stan is really doing a good job with the program,’’ Goldstein said. “He is the best guy for the job at this time. He is miles and miles ahead of the previous coach. I do believe he plays by the rules.
“I’m a big supporter of this program, and if they do something wrong, I’ll be the first to call them out on it. I just don’t think there’s a lot to this story.’’

USF’s administrators are currently meeting to determine whether to address the FanHouse.com report. If so, I’ll let you know what they say ASAP.
