In the summer of 2003, Snyder was an assistant coach for United States at the Pan American Games.[9] In May 2004, Snyder was named in 17 allegations as a part of an NCAA investigation over recruiting violations, centering on improper gifts to guard Ricky Clemons.[11] The program was placed on a three-year probation that November after the NCAA infractions committee ruled that an assistant bought meals, provided transportation and illegally contacted recruits. The committee rejected claims by the school that the rule violations were inadvertent, although it also dismissed charges of major violations, including the Clemons' claim that assistant coaches paid players cash.[12] Snyder later admitted to having players at his house for "an occasional meal" and giving Clemons clothing.[13]

Guess I don't know what exactly we tried to refute or accept, but Quin was out of control at that point. It has been well documented he was over his head and had little discipline on or off the court.
