Oxford, Ohio ? A women’s basketball coach forced to resign a day after Vanderbilt hired him did indeed earn two graduate college degrees as he stated on a resume, Miami of Ohio said Friday.

Questions surrounding Tom Collen’s academic background cost him his job at Vanderbilt, which he took after quitting as coach at Colorado State. Both schools now have new coaches and Collen is out of work.

Collen, a 1983 Miami graduate, asked the school last week to check into his academic credentials. Miami told Vanderbilt last month that Collen held only one master’s degree in two subjects.

But a further review found that the registrar’s office made a mistake on Collen’s transcript when he graduated. The office incorrectly entered that he earned one master’s degree in two areas of study, but the record should have shown two separate degrees, Miami spokesman Richard Little said.
