It should first be stated that Assistant Coach Jerome Allen has not been formally charged with a criminal offense and has not openly been named as a person involved in this matter.

According to Bloomberg.com, a former University of Pennsylvania basketball coach took bribes from a Miami Beach business man to help the man's son gain admission to the college.

Both the Celtics, Penn State and the Miami U. S. Attorney's office have not commented on the matter. This is Bloomberg.com's Michael Smith et al on the matter:

The coach is Jerome Allen, one of the biggest basketball stars in Penn history and its coach for six seasons, according to a person familiar with the matter.
