Oklahoma State Fires Associate Head Basketball Coach Lamont Evans

Oklahoma State issued the following one sentence statement today:

“Oklahoma State University announced today that assistant basketball coach Lamont Evans has been terminated for cause.”

Evans is accused of accepting $2,000 a month in bribes to funnel athletes to certain agents, including “one and done” players that are talented enough to jump to the NBA after one season.

Evans had been suspended by the university and surrendered to federal marshals early Wednesday. He appeared before U.S. Magistrate Charles Goodwin later in the day. He did not enter a plea, but is due to appear in court again in New York’s Southern District on Oct. 10.
