Jalen Rose, Grant Hill To Partner In Building Charter School

May 15, 2011 1:42 PM

Jalen Rose says Grant Hill has agreed to help support the new charter school in Detroit bearing Rose's name.

The Jalen Rose Leadership Academy is expected to open in September.

Rose says Hill has promised to lend his support and that things are fine between them after Hill criticized Rose in March for comments he made in an ESPN documentary about Michigan's famous Fab Five.

Hill, a former Duke standout, criticized Rose in the New York Times for saying the Blue Devils "only recruited black players that were 'Uncle Toms.'"
