The University of Memphis is aware of the anonymous letter, and it has been shared with the NCAA," university spokesperson Michele Ehrhart said in a statement to ESPN.
Hardaway announced Wednesday morning -- two months before the start of the college basketball season -- that he was firing assistant coaches Rick Stansbury, Faragi Phillips and Jamie Rosser.
This week's drama increases the pressure on Hardaway, who is entering a critical season for his future with the Tigers.
After starting 15-2 last season and being ranked as high as No. 10 in the AP poll, Memphis went 7-8 the rest of the way and missed the NCAA tournament.
