Court documents reveal that former basketball player Brandon Austin’s mother denied telling Dana Altman that the Providence College allegations against her son were of a sexual nature.

The document comes in the wake of a lawsuit against the University of Oregon filed by the survivor of an alleged sexual assault involving three UO men’s basketball players in March of last year. The survivor, identified as Jane Doe, and her legal team alleged that men’s basketball head coach Dana Altman was aware when he recruited Brandon Austin, one of the players, that Austin had been suspended for accusation of sexual assault at his former school.

The lawsuit filed by the plaintiff alleged that Altman and others recruited Austin in full knowledge of his disciplinary circumstances, because of conversations with Austin’s mother Tammy during the recruiting process.

The mother wrote in the document that while she had been contacted by assistant coach Tony Stubblefield and Altman in December of 2013 to discuss the suspension, she never specified that the discipline was related to “allegations of a sexual nature.”

“I told Coach Altman that my son had an altercation with another person,” the mother wrote.

Austin was accused of sexual assault by another female student at Providence College in fall of 2013 and faced a subsequent year-long suspended from the basketball team. The Rhode Island Attorney General’s Office dismissed the charges against Austin due to insufficient evidence.

Lane County District Attorney also cited lack of evidence and did not charge the three UO players during last year’s investigation. The female student filed a lawsuit against Altman and the UO on Jan. 8.
