The 2010–11 Radford Highlanders men's basketball team represented Radford University in the 2010–11 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. Led by head coach Brad Greenberg, the team played in Big South Conference (BSC).[1] They finished the season 5-24 overall and 2-16 in conference play, however, both of their conference wins and four of their wins overall were vacated due to NCAA violations committed by Greenberg, members of his staff, and a player on his team.[2]

Due to these violations, Radford suspended Greenberg for the final four games of the regular season as a self-imposed punishment.[3] Greenberg resigned shortly after the season concluded.[4]

Previous season

Radford finished the 2009-10 season with a 19-12 record.[5] They earned a 13-5 record in conference play, which was good enough for the six-seed in the 2010 Big South men's basketball tournament. They won their first round game against No.7 Charleston Southern, 64-61, in overtime. The tournament run came to an abrupt end against No. 3 Winthrop, 61-46.

After the season, the team lost Art Parakhouski, two-time Big South Player of the Year and the season's Division I leader in rebounds per game,[6] and second-team All-Big South player Joey Lynch-Flohr to graduation.

NCAA infractions

In February 2012, the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions released a report[8] that detailed violations of NCAA rules by Radford men's basketball and tennis head coaches. The NCAA was initially investigating the men's basketball program during the 2010-11 season for violations related to "impermissible benefits" for transportation and lodging for current and prospective players during the winter of 2009-10. However, during the investigation, the NCAA found that head coach Brad Greenberg was intentionally holding evidence from the committee and influencing his coaching staff and a player to lie and impede the NCAA's investigation.[9]

Because of these violations, the Radford men's basketball program was put on a two-year probation from February 2012 to February 2014, lost two of its scholarships during the probation, had to forfeit its wins from the 2010-11 season involving the ineligible player, and pay a $2,000 fine. Greenberg was also issued a five-year show-cause penalty prohibiting him from engaging in recruiting activities. Three of his assistants were issued two-year show-cause penalties.[2]
