Ex-USC coach accused of taking bribes had annual salary of $600,000

Lamont Evans, the former South Carolina assistant basketball coach accused taking at least $22,000 in bribes to steer college players toward certain sports agents and financial advisers, is scheduled to make a salary of $600,000 for the 2017-18 season as associate head coach at Oklahoma State.

According to the Tulsa World’s Mark Cooper, Evans’ annual salary of $600,000 is part of a three-year, $1.875-million deal that includes a $25,000 raise each season. Evans is paid monthly -- $50,000 a month, so if he is not terminated by Saturday, the end of September, he could receive his $50,000 payment for October.
