NC State's men's basketball program was placed on one year of probation and former Wolfpack coach Mark Gottfried was given a one-year show-cause order on Monday, as punishment for a former assistant coach helping facilitate money from Adidas to a prospect's family.
The Wolfpack weren't banned from playing in the postseason.
Former assistant coach Orlando Early was given a six-year show-cause order, which is the most severe punishment a coach can receive under NCAA rules. It requires punishment to be attached to a coach even at a new school. A school can appear before the NCAA's Committee on Infractions to "show cause" why it shouldn't be under the same penalties as the coach.
