BASKETBALL MISSOURI COACH FOCUS OF NEW CHARGE

The NCAA has accused Missouri coach Norm Stewart of misleading its investigators, according to reports from a Columbia radio station and newspaper. Station KFRU and The Columbia Tribune cited unidentified sources in saying that Stewart was the coach mentioned in two new NCAA allegations.

Missouri had released a copy of the NCAA allegations with the names of the people involved blocked out. Seventeen allegations have been lodged against Missouri.

The letter said a Missouri coach allegedly engaged in unethical conduct by providing "false and misleading information" to NCAA investigators and to Michael Glazer and Michael Slive, legal counsel for the university.

KFRU said two sources close to the investigation confirmed the reference was to Stewart. The Tribune cited "highly placed university sources" as confirming that Stewart was the focus of the new allegation.

Stewart, the Tigers' coach for 23 years, was out of town.
