Frank Haith, Mizzou basketball coach, denies wrongdoing at Miami
It’s been almost a month since jailed former University of Miami booster Nevin Shapiro claimed in a Yahoo! Sports report that Mizzou men’s basketball coach Frank Haith knew Shapiro had paid a Hurricanes recruit $10,000 when Haith was coach at the school. Haith had remained silent on the accusation, which came complete with a photo of Shapiro and Haith standing together at a bowling alley. Initially, Haith had said he was “stunned” by seeing his name associated with the report, and he denied lying to Mizzou about his relationship with Shapiro.
But Haith finally issued an outright denial of his alleged Shapiro connections Wednesday to The Columbia Daily Tribune‘s Steve Walentik.
