Smart of the feds to target these low level assistants, and leaking the names, they will absolutely roll on the big fish. Having their names out there already, they are already unemployable, they have zero incentive to keep quiet and take the full brunt of this.
Title: Four college basketball assistant coaches hit with federal fraud charges

https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/four-college-basketball-assistant-coaches-hit-with-federal-fraud-corruption-charges/

The United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York announced early Tuesday that a press conference will be held at noon ET to detail charges of fraud and corruption in college basketball against four current assistant coaches -- Arizona's Emanuel "Book" Richardson, Auburn's Chuck Person, Oklahoma State's Lamont Evans and USC's Tony Bland. Managers, financial advisers and representatives of a major international sportswear company are also involved.

He's accused of helping funnel approximately $100,000 to the family of an "All-American high school basketball player" to secure the prospect's commitment to a school Adidas sponsors.



As if there wasn't enough money and corruption in sport.

Adidas payed (bribed) assistant coaches to funnel players to Adidas payed (bribed) agents & financial advisors to funnel college athletes to Adidas without the college athletes knowing their coaches, agents, & financial advisors (the last 2 they pay for services) received payment to influence their decisions via professional services.

That's a lot of interstate fraud.

I'd go with bribery, fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy charges on top of each. They're funneling money to institutions they receive billions of dollars from the Federal Govt.

If Addidas is publicly traded there could be SEC issues as well. Application of antitrust laws have gotten pretty perverted as well.

They won't get the death penalty, that also has a negative effect on their conference partners. If they get punished for this it will result in scholarship reductions, multiple year post-season bans, fines, and Pitino and Jurich will get fired.

Plus SMU was sanctioned multiple times & the regents just kept doing the same stuff treating SMU as their own game.  SMU had to take it really, really far to get the death penalty the first time.

None of this comes close to what SMU did.  Louisville can fire everyone & their regents won't keep it going.

As interesting as this all is (for BB fans) I'm sort of curious if there's any related activities within other areas of the respective Athletic Departments.  Ok St in particular interests me.  Wasn't that long ago that the SI expose (maybe hit piece, maybe before its time  :dunno:) leveled a bunch of accusations on Gundy's grundle.

One thing's for sure, it's gonna be a good time for the lucky schools (and fans) not directly implicated.

It has already started. Yet there are plenty of clean coaches that have managed to make it to the round of 32 at least once in the last 5 years and not lose a team 3 out of those 5. I would love for those people trashing Frank and Brad now to try to say that to anyone's face Saturday.

I won't ca too many coaches dirty as it implies you can actually pin something on them, but sleazy yes.  Unfortunately it appears to be successful you have to crawl into the sewers.  You want to stop this then ban recruitment of any player who does AAU.  Use HD again.  If there is a rush to find clean coaches, then that increases the odds of Oscar being snagged from us.  If he had a level recruiting field he might not do so crappy.

What part of "partially" is confusing? How about the caveat of "this series of episodes" (which clearly indicates that there's many other forms of cheating and incidents of cheating)?

You seem to be confused by the word partially, not me. I'm confused as to how you can attribute any of this to one and dones, if it was happening before that was enacted.

Dax, I appreciate the breakdown but I agree with Bilas, and I have no reason to shill for Duke and Coach K. College freshmen still got drafted before the one and done era. The market, if you want to call it that, for coaches to get kickbacks for funneling players to agents has and will always exist as long as amateurs are getting drafted to become professionals. We'll just have to agree to disagree, because I don't believe one has anything to do with the other. It's very possible to have this opinion and have it stand on its own without having to cover for someone or something.

Isn't the shoe component separate from the agent component? That's why guys who have never worked at an Adidas school, like Lamont, are involved.

I read it as the shoe thing coming into play with recruiting and the agent thing happens when a player becomes a pro prospect.

Yeah, separate tracks I believe.  I've barely looked at it at all because college basketball, but on the shoe front I thought it was that adidas was paying someone to get supposed pro prospects to adidas schools with the idea that they'd be easily accessible by adidas people and sign with adidas once pro.

I guess it's like buying lottery tickets.  But who are some young players that are actually selling product, especially crap product like adidas basketball shoes? 

The only hoops shoes I've bought because of the player are Kamikazes and that's most recently been over a decade after he retired and certainly not to play in.

Yea I know I'm late for the party, but thought I'd leave this here for your reading enjoyment.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville has placed coach Rick Pitino and athletic director Tom Jurich on administrative leave amid a federal bribery investigation.

Interim university President Greg Postel said at a news conference Wednesday that Jurich is on paid leave, while Pitino is on unpaid leave. The coach's attorney, Steve Spence, told the Courier-Journal that Louisville has "effectively fired" Pitino.

Neither Pitino nor Jurich attended the news conference.

"I'm more angry than embarrassed," Postel said. "We will be looking for someone with integrity. There's no reason this team can't have a good season.

"It is vital for this university to strictly adhere to the NCAA rules and of course federal law. Failure to do that would be a tacit endorsement of criminal behavior."

Pitino's exit comes after the school acknowledged on Tuesday that the men's program is part of a federal investigation into alleged bribery of recruits. The 65-year-old coach was not named in the indictment that resulted in the arrest of 10 people including four assistant coaches at other schools and an Adidas executive.

it is the latest black eye for the Cardinals program. Pitino and Louisville are in the middle of appealing NCAA sanctions handed out in June following an escort scandal that unfolded nearly two years ago, which could cost the school its 2013 national title.

Jurich has supported Pitino through his transgressions during the athletic director's nearly 20-year tenure at the university.

Pitino, 65, was 416-143 over 16 years at Louisville, including that 2013 NCAA championship.

In the latest investigation, federal prosecutors say at least three top high school recruits were promised payments of as much as $150,000, using money supplied by Adidas, to attend two universities sponsored by the athletic shoe company. Court papers didn't name the schools but contained enough details to identify one of them as Louisville.

Postel also said Wednesday that one student-athlete has been informed he will not practice or play for the university until investigation is resolved.

"This decision will protect the interests of both the student and the University of Louisville," Postel said.

Pitino is not named in the federal documents, though the school acknowledged it is under investigation by the FBI.

"These allegations come as a complete shock to me," the coach said in a statement Tuesday night. "If true, I agree with the U.S. Attorney's Office that these third-party schemes, initiated by a few bad actors, operated to commit a fraud on the impacted universities and their basketball programs, including the University of Louisville. Our fans and supporters deserve better and I am committed to taking whatever steps are needed to ensure those responsible are held accountable."

Louisville was already reeling from the sex scandal. The program has been ordered to vacate up to 123 victories in which ineligible players received improper benefits -- a period that includes the 2013 title, its third -- along with the 2012 Final Four appearance. The NCAA also placed the school on four years' probation and ordered the return of money received through conference revenue sharing. McGee received a 10-year, show-cause penalty.

Pitino was ordered to miss five unspecified Atlantic Coast Conference games this season.

The NCAA noted that Cardinal players and recruits had received improper benefits and called the activities in the dorm "repugnant" in its decision.

Pitino is 770-271 over a 32-year coaching career with stops at Hawaii, Boston, Providence and Kentucky, where he won the 1996 NCAA title. He has also coached in the NBA with the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks.

But that success has been overshadowed by a recent series of embarrassing episodes that began nearly two years ago with escort Katina Powell's book allegations that former Cardinals staffer Andre McGee hired her and other dancers for sex parties with players and recruits in the team's dormitory.

Powell wrote in "Breaking Cardinal Rules: Basketball and the Escort Queen" that former Cardinals men's basketball staffer Andre McGee hired her and other dancers to strip and have sex with players and recruits from 2010-14. Powell said McGee paid her $10,000 for 22 shows with most occurring in the team's Billy Minardi Hall dormitory named for Pitino's brother-in-law, who died in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York.

Pitino denied knowledge of the activities described in Powell's book and criticized McGee for his actions.

Before the sex scandal case, Pitino had to testify in 2010 in a federal extortion trial for the wife of the school's equipment manager, when he acknowledged under oath to having an extramarital affair with her in a Louisville restaurant.

Monday will mark two years since the escort scandal broke and sparked multiple investigations, including one by the school as well as the NCAA. Louisville's own investigation determined that violations did occur and announced in February 2016 a self-imposed postseason ban along with recruiting restrictions.

Those measures were implemented in hopes of mitigating further discipline by the NCAA, which accepted the self-imposed ban. That didn't happen. The NCAA's Committee on Infractions dismissed Pitino's contention that he was unaware of McGee's activities and imposed harsher penalties on the program and the coach.

Louisville's appeal contends that the NCAA overstepped its authority with "draconian" penalties. Pitino called the penalties "unjust and over the top in its severity" when announced on June 15.

Tuesday's indictment also occurs just over a month since Adidas and Louisville announced a 10-year, $160 million partnership extension through 2028. The sportswear maker has been partnered with the school since 1998.

Lot of hawksplaining going on right now.

I really admire how they're so convinced that there's no way KU could be involved in any shenanigans.

It takes a special kind of diehard to continually extoll the notion that 5 star recruits engaged in the muck and the mire of the recruiting process choose KU simply because of their unmitigated desire to put on that Kansas uniform, while everyone else has to cheat. 

BTW, I really hope it goes all the way back to Beasley and Walker for us because it will be sort of a walk down memory lane to a time we really tried to be a basketball power (again).

Enjoyed reading that article, apparently Nike did not offer enough for Diallo

Quote
Dramé, who likes to refer to himself as the King of Mali, was hoping to finance an annual camp in Mali with the help of a sneaker company. One morning in Sacramento, he told me that a Nike representative visited him in his hotel room the previous evening, after midnight. When I asked what they talked about, he offered, simply, “Basketball.”

“I just texted Kevin Ollie,” Dramé said, referring to the head coach at Connecticut. “He wanted me to text him.”

The University of Kansas is conducting an internal review of its storied program after a nationwide federal bribery investigation uncovered rampant fraud and corruption in college basketball.

Associated athletic director Jim Marchiony tells The Associated Press that the Adidas-sponsored school has not been contacted by any law enforcement agencies, but it chose to review its program after the Department of Justice filed charges Tuesday against 10 people, including four college basketball coaches.

I'm not sure there has really been true "amateur" sport in D1 football and basketball in my lifetime, at the highest levels of the sport, the elites and those trying to be elite.  Couple this with  my disdain of the American collegiate system giving money for scholarships to people who do not work hard a school, and I've had enough. eff it.  I hope it all turns into the way pro-soccer is run around the world.  You want to play sports?  Fine, do it in club teams.

Pete, nobody disagrees that Bill Self is a win at all cost coach who recruits players with criminally violent tendencies and no interest in pursuing higher education. That fact tends to bely your deluded proposition that players want to play for him for free. Indeed, the cost of bringing players of such poor character to a university and maintaining their eligibility through various shams and frauds is tremendous.

Stupid?  Yes.  Any more stupid than expecting we will have Oscar clean basketball?  No.

It is pitiful that we hope for this because we think it will give us a chance to do better.

I hope this thing just crushes the entire D1 basketball situation as we know it.  Nuke the whole thing back to the intramural level and then slowly rebuild it.  Meanwhile, let the guys who want to play basketball for a living go play basketball for a living...I hope European and Chinese leagues feast on American 18 year olds and make those kids rich....force the NBA to drop it's ridiculous "1 year post high school" requirement" for fear of losing the best players.

I am rooting for professional basketball to turn out like professional soccer and professional baseball.  Take the players young and pay them to be professionals.  Leave the universities to education.

Then saw this in another article:

"Self, Syracuse's Jim Boeheim, Kentucky's John Calipari, Michigan State's Tom Izzo, Duke's Mike Krzyzewski and North Carolina's Roy Williams are the six active NCAA men's basketball coaches in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Four of the six programs appeared in the NCAA Selection Committee's sneak peek at the top 16 seeds in this year's NCAA Tournament bracket last weekend."

The tourney would be just as good for the average viewer if NE Valdosta State played Colgate - they know those just as well as most of the other teams in the field.

In a way, at least for one year the sheer insanity of the tourney minus about 50 power conference and elite mid-major programs out of the mix would be very interesting to watch just for what could be an across the board competitive nature to the games and the realization you have no idea who could win the thing.

Just my take (and some of my HS students' as well).

I think Miller likely did it and has nothing to lose by fighting it.  If it's true, he'll never coach NCAA ball again regardless of what he does now.  I know what they said about firing for cause in his contract but I don't think that's true.  His best bet is to show that he'll fight everything so he can get the best buyout possible in the end.

Man, Arizona does not GAF, they are leaning into the cheating, with a little help from the NCAA.

Allonzo Trier somehow cleared to play even though he gave the wackest excuse for a failed test ever.

Quote
On the same day as university officials announced they were retaining head coach Sean Miller, Arizona learned it would be getting one of its star players back too.

The NCAA cleared guard Allonzo Trier to play Thursday night against Stanford after he won his appeal seeking to invalidate a failed drug test.

Attorney Steve Thompson argued that traces of a banned substance found in Trier’s system in late January were actually remnants left over from when he first tested positive in 2016. Thompson told Yahoo Sports last Thursday that both Trier’s positive tests were for Ostarine, a chemical compound that mimics the muscle-building and fat-burning effects of anabolic steroids.

Trier avoided a season-long suspension last year by successfully arguing he had ingested Ostarine inadvertently before the 2016-17 season when his stepfather mixed it into a drink. He returned after 19 games last January because that was when tests showed the Ostarine he ingested had fully cleared his system.

“Allonzo has never been a drug-cheat, and the NCAA found in 2016 that he never took Ostarine intentionally,” Thompson told Yahoo Sports last week. “The experts tell us Ostarine can be stored in fatty tissues for a long time, and tests can be negative but then later be positive as the substance comes out.  The medical evidence also shows that the reappearance of a trace amount in his system now creates absolutely zero competitive advantage.”

Anti-doping experts who spoke to Yahoo Sports earlier this week questioned whether it was plausible for a detectable amount of Ostarine to stay in Trier’s system for well over a year. Don Catlin, founder and former director of the UCLA Olympic Analytical Laboratory, said it added to his skepticism that Trier passed multiple random drug screenings in between the NCAA lifting his suspension 13 months ago and his most recent positive test in late January.

“If the original positive finding was indeed due to inadvertent use of Ostarine in a drink provided by Trier’s father, as opposed to purposeful use of an Ostarine supplement by Trier, then it would be highly unlikely that he would test positive a year later from the original inadvertent use,” Catlin told Yahoo Sports. “Certainly a number of negative results in between support the conclusion that the most recent positive was not connected to the original inadvertent use.

“While hydration, which can affect pH of a urine sample, could be a factor and can influence results, it would not seem a very plausible explanation for a positive drug test occurring a year after inadvertent use of Ostarine. The pH of the negative samples in between could be compared to that of the original and recent positive to evaluate that further.”

Trier only missed two games while waiting for his appeal to be heard, a road win at Oregon State and a road loss at Oregon. Thursday’s decision ensures he will be back in uniform against Stanford as the Wildcats try to clinch a Pac-12 title and build momentum for the postseason.

Trier, Arizona’s second-leading scorer behind freshman Deandre Ayton, averages 19.6 points per game and shoots 43 percent from behind the arc. Trier was a preseason All-American and is likely to earn all-Pac-12 honors for the second straight season.

Yes, agreed Arizona knows exactly what they’re getting into. They’re gonna try to make their tourney run and when Miller gets busted they’re going to be “shocked” and “disappointed” to find out he was cheating.

I would not at all be surprised if Miller gets some bonuses based on performance that Arizona has no grounds to recover after the fact.

I don't know, man.  That's splitting some serious hairs.

Let me be very very clear: I have never discussed with Christian Dawkins paying Deandre Ayton to attend the University of Arizona. In fact, I never even met or spoke to Christian Dawkins until after Deandre publicly announced he was coming to our school. Any reporting to the contrary is inaccurate, false and defamatory.

I'm outraged by the media statements have been made and the acceptance by many that these statements were true. There was no such conversation.

This thing is getting pretty muddy.  SI and 247 are claiming sources saying the story from Schlabach is inaccurate, but ESPN is doubling down it.


Quote
As Arizona coach Sean Miller forcibly professed his innocence on Thursday in a statement that affirmed his status with the team, a source familiar with the college hoops corruption investigation confirmed with SI that the details of a wiretapped phone call involving Miller were inaccurately reported in a story by ESPN that said Miller “discussed paying $100,000 to ensure star freshman Deandre Ayton signed with the Wildcats.”

According to the source, relevant FBI wiretaps in the investigation did not begin until 2017—months after five-star recruit Deandre Ayton had already committed to Arizona in Sept. 2016. This account is consistent with reporting by Evan Daniels of 247Sports. The recruitment of Ayton, therefore, would have not been at issue in an intercepted phone call that occurred in 2017. To that end, the source told SI what Miller clarified for the first time Thursday: Ayton is not the player on whose behalf former ASM Sports employee Christian Dawkins allegedly sought a payment from Miller, and Miller never pursued paying or made any payments to a recruit associated with Dawkins.

And when the call happened is very important.  If Ayton signed his LOI to Arizona before any of the wiretapping actually occurred, it raises some questions about the story.

There are a lot of points I can contradict here but I'll stick with the simplest one. Ayton signing his LOI has no effect, at all, whether or not Dawkins and/or Miller felt they needed to pay him to keep him at Arizona. That payment could have been made to give him some money to stop him from playing in Europe or Asia.

I agree with MIR, everyone is getting so caught up on WHEN the call took place but the fact that it took place at all is what should be the focus

Odds are the supposed wire tap is completely made up.

Lots of bets being thrown around this internet thread  :nono:

But, yeah, that wire tap thing is made up.

What if Ayton tells Dawkins he is probably going to Arizona, then Dawkins goes to Miller and says Ayton is up in the air and that if Miller will pay 100k or give him Tarzuski he can lock down Ayton, so Miller steers Tarz no money exchanged and Ayton knows nothing about the whole thing?

Fake Sugar Dick has us all on pins and needles with this one.  What do you think he will do?!?!

Well, even when FSD loses the bet it’s not like he’ll leave leave.  We just won’t have Chings split personality named FSD.

All that said I want FSD to stay because as I’ve said, the conspiracies and false statements really bring something to my day.
