Coach Jerod Haase paying $46K to assist UAB basketball programs


After UAB could not cover the full cost of attendance for its student-athletes this year, coach decided to pay the bulk of those stipends -- for both the men's and women's basketball teams -- out of his own pocket. Sources said Haase's donation was $46,000, or $23,000 to each program. He did not initially want to speak to ESPN for the story but did confirm that he and his wife made a donation to the school that was earmarked for the players on both teams. (ESPN.com)
