Former South Carolina assistant among NCAA coaches charged with fraud and corruption

Four college basketball coaches were among those facing federal charges Tuesday in a wide probe of fraud and corruption in the NCAA, authorities said.

The coaches were identified in court papers as Chuck Person of Auburn University, Emanuel Richardson of the University of Arizona, Tony Bland of the University of Southern California and Lamont Evans of Oklahoma State. It was not immediately clear who would represent them at initial court appearances.

Evans was an assistant at South Carolina under Frank Martin from 2012-2016, before being hired at Oklahoma State in April 2016.

The coaches were among 10 people charged in Manhattan federal court.
