DALLAS -- Patrick Dennehy's stepfather expressed anger that he had to learn from the media of the resignations Friday of Baylor athletic director Tom Stanton and head basketball coach Dave Bliss over alleged NCAA rules violations that came to light during the investigation of Dennehy's death.

"It would've been nice to have gotten a call and an apology," Brian Brabazon said in the online edition of The Dallas Morning News Friday night.

"I accepted Coach Bliss, I accepted Tom Stanton and (university president Robert) Sloan at Patrick's service," Brabazon said, referring to a memorial service for Dennehy that was held Thursday in San Jose, Calif. "I told them I was honored. Apparently they didn't feel I was due the respect to at least tell me what was going on."

The family has long been frustrated with Baylor's response since Dennehy vanished June 12. His body was found July 25, and former teammate Carlton Dotson has been charged in his shooting death.

Brabazon and Dotson's estranged wife, Melissa Kethley of Sulphur Springs, said the resignations weren't enough.

Brabazon said that perhaps hiring a lawyer would be the only way to make sure that what happened with his stepson and his basketball team is fully exposed.

"Maybe Patrick's death was preventable," Brabazon said. "We need to do what we can to get to the bottom of this."

Kethley said she welcomed the announcements, but said Baylor should go take more drastic action, including shutting down the basketball program until it can be thoroughly investigated and revamped.

Kethley said last month that at least five other players came regularly to the couple's Waco apartment to smoke marijuana. She said one player came to their apartment to give Dotson a urine sample so he could pass a drug test at a nearby testing lab. Players had warnings about the drug tests that enabled them to cheat, she said.

Brabazon said he is concerned that Sloan said at least two players were given improper tuition payments.

Brabazon said he believes his son was one of those two players. Other family members have said Dennehy was asked to give up his scholarship to another player last year and was told that he would be taken care of.

He said he was interested in details on how Bliss was allowed to run a program that spun so out of control.

"I would have hoped he would've stopped it before it got this far," Brabazon said. "I'm not blaming Patrick's death on him, but had the program been legitimate when Patrick started at Baylor, maybe things would've turned out differently."
