Louisville’s Rick Pitino is the “Coach-2” referred to in a federal criminal complaint alleging corruption in college basketball, CBS News’ Dana Jacobson reports.
Coach-2 is named in relation to the charges against Adidas executive Jim Gatto, Adidas associate Merl Code Jr., Adidas AAU employee Brad Augustine, Atlanta sports agent Christian Dawkins and New Jersey financial advisor Munish Sood. The crux of the case against the four defendants is the allegation that they conspired to pay $100,000 to a recruit.
The recruit is identified only as “Player-10” and his school as “University-6,” but he has since been found to be Louisville freshman Brian Bowen.
