By
ATHENS - Talk about a slam dunk.<br> <br> Most college students dream of getting a final exam with questions such as: How many points is a three-pointer worth?<br> <br> That was among the questions on basic basketball knowledge on the final exam -- and only test -- in Georgia assistant basketball coach Jim Harrick Junior&#39;s Coaching Principles and Strategies of Basketball class in 2001.<br> <br> The 20-question test and transcripts of interviews with some of the students in Harrick&#39;s class were among 15-hundred pages of documents released today by the university in its response to the N-C-A-A about rules violations in the basketball program.<br> <br> The university agreed with the N-C-A-A&#39;s findings, which included violations of academic fraud and improper benefits.<br> <br> Harrick&#39;s father, Jim Senior, was suspended, then resigned as coach. The younger Harrick lost his job as an assistant, and the school kept the team out of the Southeastern Conference and N-C-A-A tournaments.<br> <br> The N-C-A-A concluded Harrick Junior fraudulently awarded grades of A to three men&#39;s basketball student-athletes enrolled in the course he taught in 2001, allowing them to miss class and tests. The N-C-A-A also found that Harrick Junior also allegedly provided an extra benefit to student athletes by the manner in which he conducted the course.<br> <br> An attorney for the Harricks said today that Harrick Junior would not comment.
