Geoffrey S. Berman, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced today that LAMONT EVANS, a former assistant men’s basketball coach at the University of South Carolina (“South Carolina”) and Oklahoma State University (“OSU”), and EMANUEL RICHARDSON, a/k/a “Book,” a former assistant men’s basketball coach at the University of Arizona (“Arizona”), were each sentenced to three months in prison, and that ANTHONY BLAND, a/k/a “Tony,” a former assistant men’s basketball coach at the University of Southern California (“USC”), was sentenced to a term of probation, each for accepting cash bribes from athlete advisers in exchange for using their influence over the student-athletes they coached to retain the services of the advisers paying the bribes. The defendants were sentenced this week in Manhattan federal court by U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos.

The FBI arrested Auburn associate basketball coach -- and former Indiana Pacers star -- Chuck Person on Tuesday on federal corruption charges. He was one of four NCAA assistant basketball coaches and 10 people total arrested in a corruption scheme that allegedly involves both recruiting athletes to universities and directing athletes with NBA potential to specific agents, advisers and an apparel company.

EVANS received approximately $22,000 in cash bribes from current and aspiring financial advisers and/or managers, including Dawkins and Sood, in exchange for EVANS’s agreement to exert his influence over certain student-athletes

when RICHARDSON was arrested, RICHARDSON received approximately $20,000 in cash bribes from Dawkins and Sood in exchange for RICHARDSON’s agreement to exert his influence over certain student-athletes

Beginning in or around July 2017, and continuing into September 2017, when BLAND was arrested, Dawkins paid a cash bribe to BLAND in exchange for BLAND’s agreement to exert his influence over certain student-athletes BLAND coached at USC

You’re 100% correct I should’ve been more clear about what I meant. But again most of those bribes had nothing to do with college basketball they were about players going to an agency or agents.

And Wade was questioned about all the comments from the wiretaps (Dawkins wiretaps not Wade) then he was allowed to continue coaching at LSU and LSU had no sanctions levied against it afterwards. You’re taking year old news, things that have been settled already, and using it as a weapon to bash Wade with. None of this is new information and there is no investigation currently into LSU basketball so why are you doing this exactly, because you think HBO is news and Dawkins tells the truth? Lol seriously?


Btw I’m still waiting for proof that I said I was in favor of an unethical program.

How about this quote from YOU.....
"That’s the kicker, the “ethics” argument. It’s completely ignorant of the situation to begin with. The shoe companies control the entire sport of basketball from the AAU level to the NBA. It’s their game, their rules and they’re the ones in charge of the money for recruits mostly."
So, according to you, WW should ACCEPT that college BB is corrupt (controlled by the shoe companies) thus making WW corrupt.
You said, "It’s their game, their rules and they’re the ones in charge of the money for recruits mostly."
Again, WW should "participate" in and with this corrupt/unethical situation.....thus making WW corrupt and unethical.
Here's another gem from you...."So if we want Wade to take on the sport of basketball in the name of ethics and try to reinvent the wheel so to speak, see how far he gets doing it."
Translated.....WW should, and we should accept how corrupt the game is. WW should "participate" in this corrupt system ("see how far he gets doing it").

How about this...."To watch people who have no clue how college basketball recruiting works lecture us and condemn Wade based on ethics is laughable."
Translated.....Since we don't agree with this corrupt system, we should be quiet and accept this corrupt system (that you agree with).
Is that enough confirmation that YOU support unethical coaching/coaches?

I’ll ask you another question about your silly little theory. You keep saying Wade is hurting “our program” with these mysterious violations the NCAA didn’t find but you claim to have secret knowledge of. So who’s providing the money for these ridiculous payments? If Wade isn’t paying out of pocket and it’s not the shoe companies it must be LSU right? So how is Wade hurting the program when they’re the ones shelling out the dough? And where was your sky screaming when Johnny Jones was paying players and “hurting our program?” If you believe Dawkins then you believe those pay sheets with Jarrell Martin and Tim Quarterman are real and Jones was dirty too so where were you then? Why aren’t you crusading for our entire athletic department to be fired? Go ahead and take your time I’ll wait.......

I mean since the original report and trial, several schools have gotten notices of allegations... last I checked LSU isn't one.

Also, if something was up with Smart, you really think after interviews and meetings LSU would have let him play that postseason and then the entirety of this season?
