KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Former Tennessee director of basketball operations Ken Johnson provided two free tickets to the mother of an athlete in March. The secondary violation ultimately played a role in his firing and the firing of coach Bruce Pearl and his staff. Tennessee detailed the violation in a March 25 letter to the Southeastern Conference released to The Associated Press on Monday.
