A former Baylor assistant basketball coach-turned-whistleblower on Monday sharply rebuked former head coach Dave Bliss, who is heard in an upcoming documentary repeating his claim that a player murdered in 2003 sold drugs “to all the white guys on campus” to pay for his tuition at the Baptist university in Waco.
