Len Elmore, one of six search committee members that selected Gary Williams as the University of Maryland basketball coach earlier this month, says he regrets that the panel did not know Williams was accused of misusing telephone privileges at Ohio State.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported in Friday’s editions that Ohio State officials plan to investigate Williams’ phone records after a review by the newspaper that revealed the 479 calls to the residence and office of Victoria Chen, who said she is Williams’ investment broker.
In a statement issued by the University of Maryland, Williams expressed regret and offered to pay the charges in question.
