The NCAA banned the SMU men's basketball team from postseason play Tuesday and suspended veteran coach Larry Brown for nine games after concluding that he lied to investigators, ignored academic fraud and fell far short of expectations in leading his staff when it came to compliance. In a scathing report, the NCAA noted that Brown had previously coached at Kansas and UCLA yet made ''choices against his better judgment when it came to compliance issues'' at SMU, where he is preparing for his fourth season. ''These choices included not reporting possible violations in his program, initially lying to the enforcement staff during the investigation and providing no specific guidance to his staff on rules compliance,'' the NCAA said in punishing SMU for its 10th major infractions case over the years.
