The Calvary Chapel Christian School in Las Vegas confirmed Wednesday it has hired former Baylor Bears head coach Dave Bliss as its new boys basketball coach and athletic director, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal's Jonathan Saxon and Damon Seiters.
Bliss, 73, spent nearly three decades as a Division I coach, but he left the college ranks in 2003 following an NCAA investigation into the murder of Baylor playerPatrick Dennehy by teammate Carlton Dotson.
According to the Waco Tribune, the NCAA's investigation showed "Bliss had paid the tuition for Dennehy and another player, and recordings made by then-BU assistant coach Abar Rouse revealed that Bliss attempted to frame Dennehy as a drug dealer following the player’s death.
