McKey was a high 1st round draft in that year's NBA Draft so maybe he had an improper contact with an agent during the postseason. That's the only thing I can even think of possibly happening

SETTLEMENT. Sports agent Norby Walters will avoid criminal charges by paying the University of Alabama more than $200,000 and agreeing not to deal with Southeastern Conference athletes. Walters faced misdemeanor charges for his dealings with former Alabama players Derrick McKey and Terry Coner. The university lost $253,447 in tournament revenue when the NCAA learned the players had been playing under contract to Walters during the latter part of the 1986-87 season.
