Former Texas Tech coach Billy Gillispie continued to exceed NCAA practice limits this summer even after the school self-reported violations in January and counseled the coach, prompting a university review that began weeks before Gillispie was hospitalized and subsequently resigned, according to documents obtained by USA TODAY Sports.

Texas Tech listed Gillispie’s resignation in September as among the steps it had taken in response to the additional violations, which it reported in October. USA TODAY Sports received Texas Tech’s most recent report to the NCAA on Thursday, in response to a Freedom of Information request.

“The NCAA concluded that because our actions in response to the situation were substantial and meaningful, no further action by the NCAA enforcement staff was necessary,” Hocutt said.

The school’s Oct. 3 report to the NCAA stated that it had exceeded practice time by 3 hours, 30 minutes during the summer 2012 session. Given that it was the second time this year that Texas Tech reported this type … [For more on NCAA, Texas Tech: Billy Gillispie did it again, click here.]
