University of Hawaii Manoa Chancellor Robert Bley-Vroman says it was “disturbing to see the extent of the allegations” from the NCAA, which charged the UH men’s basketball team with seven violations, including three from the most severe category.

Bley-Vroman made the comment following the school’s release of the 42-page Notice of Allegations Saturday. “We take things very seriously,” Bley-Vroman said. “It is important for us to run a clean basketball team.”

The school received the long-awaited document Friday afternoon and it was made available to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser under the state’s open records act.

Of the seven violations alleged, three were from Level I, the most severe category, and four from Level II. The NCAA classifies violations on four levels.

They included impermissible tryouts, improper benefits, dishonest conduct and using operations people as coaches.

“We fully cooperated with the NCAA investigation,” UH athletic director Ben Jay said. “I can’t comment on the document itself because we’re still under the NCAA bylaws regarding confidentiality in an NCAA matter.”

In the allegations, former head coach Gib Arnold was charged with “obstructing an investigation or attempting to conceal the violations.” In addition, the NCAA claimed “Arnold knowingly influenced the then directors of operations to conceal their participation in coaching, instructional and/or recruiting activities from the media and the institution in order to conceal the violations.

“Arnold knowingly influenced then men’s basketball staff members to fabricate a story to report to the institution that the on-campus evaluation conducted between April 19 and 20, 2013, was neither arranged nor observed by the men’s basketball staff,” according to the document.

Lastly, “Arnold knowingly influenced at least four then men’s basketball student-athletes to refrain from reporting” issues.

The NCAA also cited former assistant coach Brandyn Akana for having “knowingly provided a then men’s basketball student-athlete with an Apple iPad. Additionally, Akana knowingly altered an admissions document of a then men’s basketball prospect and submitted the document to the institution to facilitate the prospect’s admission.”

In addition, the NCAA claimed “Akana knowingly provided the institution and NCAA enforcement staff with false or misleading information when he denied providing the then student-athlete with an iPad despite the factual evidence.”

Possible sanctions could include a postseason ban, loss of scholarships and/or practice time.

Jay said: “We’re going to review all of the allegations and prepare a response.”

Arnold and Akana were dismissed by UH Oct. 28 “without cause.”

Arnold replied to a message left by the Star-Advertiser on Saturday afternoon, saying he would have a response “tomorrow or Monday.”

Akana did not immediately respond to messages left by the Star-Advertiser.
