Chuck Person suspended without pay following arrest; university 'saddened, angry'


QuoteAuburn assistant coach Chuck Person was suspended without pay, effective immediately, the university announced Tuesday afternoon. The suspension comes following Person's arrest after facing six federal charges, including corruption, stemming from an FBI investigation into NCAA corruption.

"This morning's news is shocking," the university said in a statement released Tuesday that was also posted to president Steven Leath's Twitter account. "We are saddened, angry and disappointed.... We are committed to playing by the rules, and that's what we expect from our coaches. In the meantime, Auburn is working closely with law enforcement, and we will help them in their investigation in any way we can."

Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl was previously scheduled to meet with the media on Wednesday to discuss the start of practice, which begins Friday, but that has since been canceled in wake of the Person news.

Multiple university officials confirmed to AL.com on Tuesday night a report by 247Sports that the school has hired Birmingham law firm Lightfoot, Franklin and White to conduct an internal review of the men's basketball program. That law firm is the same one hired by Auburn president Steven Leath last month to conduct an extensive review of the school's softball program in wake of allegations of sexual harassment and abuse under former coach Clint Myers and associate head coach Corey Myers.

Person has been on Pearl's staff at Auburn since 2014, joining the program after a stint as the associate head coach for the Jeonju KCC Egis in the Korean Basketball League. He was promoted to Auburn's associate head coach in May 2015 after spending his first season as an assistant coach.

A former All-American, Person is Auburn's all-time leading scorer with 2,311 career points and is the third-leading rebounder in program history. He led the program to within one game of the Final Four in 1986, and following a 27-year career as a player, assistant coach and front office executive in the NBA, Person returned to Auburn to be part of Pearl's staff.

Person has been known for his prowess on the recruiting trail.

Person played in the NBA for 14 years and was a star at Auburn. That's all gone now


QuoteCollege basketball players are unpaid, but that doesn't mean they don't have value. Somebody had to cash in, and that somebody, according to the FBI, was Chuck Person.

Person tried to use his position and influence to allegedly defraud the university that helped make him a legend. In their complaint, federal prosecutors described Person as a sleazy predator of his sport, and arrested him on charges of bribery, corruption and fraud. The FBI, using a cooperating witness trying to beat down his own federal crimes, pinched Person with an undercover investigation that spanned from Auburn to New York.

The whole scheme started with Birmingham native Rashan Michel, a former NBA referee who now specializes in tailoring bespoke suits for professional athletes. Michel was approached by the FBI's cooperating witness and told the witness, a financial manager, that college basketball coaches would be willing to accept bribes in exchange for funneling future NBA players to the financial manager's practice. Michel, the suit maker, told the FBI's cooperating witness "specifically about a particular coach" at Auburn whom he "knew would agree to do so."

That coach was Person, who ended up accepting more than $90,000 in bribes over a 10-month period.

It was enough to level an avalanche of evidence upon Person's head, and all but buried his lofty position as one of the greatest basketball players to come out of Alabama.

"Today's arrests should serve as a warning to others choosing to conduct business this way in the world of college athletics," said Bill Swinney, the New York FBI assistant director. "We have your playbook."

About that 80-year maximum sentence Auburn associate head coach Chuck Person is facing in this FBI investigation... http://www.al.com/auburnbasketball/index.ssf/2017/09/could_chuck_person_really_face.html ...


QuoteAuburn associate head coach Chuck Person is facing six federal charges that include bribery and conspiracy stemming from a widespread FBI investigation into the corruption of college basketball.

Person, Auburn's all-time leading scorer, was one of 10 people arrested early Tuesday as part of the years-long investigation that was covert until Tuesday morning. He is charged with bribery conspiracy, solicitation of bribes and gratuities, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and travel act conspiracy.

If convicted of all six charges, Person could face a maximum sentence of 80 years. It's a sentence that eight of the 10 arrested on Tuesday could face, while the other two -- Christian Dawkins and Munish Sood -- face a maximum of 200 years in prison.

Although the figure seems lofty given the crimes alleged to be committed, odds are that Person won't face a sentence nearly as steep if he is convicted on all six counts.

"(It's) about as likely as me being named as Chuck Person's successor as assistant basketball coach at Auburn," said Barry Pollack...

NBA is back at it, which, of course, means a steady diet of Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley

The former NBA stars - and SEC players - remind us that college football is never far from our thoughts


QuoteDuring halftime of the Golden State-Houston game, the NBA analyst were bantering back and forth and debating a number of points.

Barkley called O'Neal's point "stupid."

O'Neal's reply?

"Stupid like Auburn losing a 20-7 lead?"

Barkley played at Auburn from 1981-84, while O'Neal starred at LSU from 1989-92.

Former LeFlore basketball star DeMarcus Cousins recorded the seventh triple-double of his NBA career in the New Orleans Pelicans' 123-101 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night.

Cousins had 29 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists against Cleveland.


QuoteCousins became the fourth player in NBA history to put together a 40-point, 20-rebound performance and a triple-double in consecutive games.

The first three players to achieve that are among the greatest in basketball's history -- Elgin Baylor of the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1962-63 season, Oscar Robertson of the Cincinnati Royals in the 1964-65 season and Wilt Chamberlain of the Lakers in the 1968-69 season.

In New Orleans' first five games this season, Cousins has averaged 33.0 points, 14.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2.8 blocks per game.

Auburn assistant basketball coach Chuck Person fired


QuoteChuck Person has been fired as Auburn's associate head basketball coach.

It's unclear when Person, who was suspended without pay following his arrest by the FBI on Sept. 26, was terminated, but an Auburn spokesman said it occurred prior to his indictment on six federal bribery, fraud and conspiracy charges.

"He is no longer an Auburn employee as such, it's completely in the hands of the criminal justice system," a statement from the university read.

Payroll records indicate Person earned just under $280,000 for the 2017 fiscal year (Oct. 2016-Sept. 2017).

Last month, director of operations Chad Prewett was elevated to interim assistant coach in place of Person.

According to the federal complaint against him, Person received $91,500 in bribes from a federal cooperating witness, who has since been identified as former Pittsburgh-based financial advisor Marty Blazer. Person told Blazer he gave a total of $18,500 to the mothers of two of Auburn's basketball players and Michel claimed to have given one of those mothers $5,000, according to the complaint.

Auburn is indefinitely sitting forward Danjel Purifoy and center Austin Wiley due to "potential eligibility issues" with their connection to the case against Person. It's unclear if or when Wiley or Purifoy, who have not spoken publicly on the matter, will be able to play college basketball again.

Person's wife Carmen, filed for divorce a day after he was arrested. He did not appear at a hearing for the divorce case last month in Auburn and the case has been ruled confidential.

How is @JarnellStokes not in the NBA? He dominated in the D-League, winning the 2016 title and MVP award. Now, in China, he's putting up 28 PPG, 13.8 RPG, 2.8 BPG, 2 SPG while shooting 58.3% from the field. What more does he need to do?

Former #Gator F David Lee always a class act http://www.gatorsports.com/2017/11/david-lee-always-class-act/ ... via @GatorSports.com

QuoteFormer Florida forward David Lee announced his retirement after 13 years in the NBA without much fanfare — just an Instagram picture with family and friends.

The 6-foot-9 Lee packed plenty of success into those 13 seasons. Lee was a two-time All-Star (2010, 2013), an All-NBA third team selection and won an NBA title ring with the Golden State Warriors in 2015.

I covered Lee in my first two years on the beat during UF's 2003-04 and 2004-05 seasons. He was one of my all-time favorite players to interview  — thoughtful, intelligent, respectful, honest. That list includes Matt Walsh, nearly the entire 2006-07 roster, Chandler Parsons, Patric Young, Canyon Barry and Chris Chiozza.

Lee was up and down the first season I covered him in 2003-04 because he had spent the prior summer bulking up with a personal trainer in St. Louis. It took away his agility and explosiveness (remember, Lee won the dunk contest at the McDonald's All-American game in 2001). The following season, Lee slimmed down and with Walsh and Anthony Roberson (and the 04s coming off the bench) helped lead the Gators to their first SEC Tournament title in school history in 2005. The Gators wound up losing in the Round of 32 to Villanova in the 2005 NCAA Tournament, but it set the stage for back-to-back national titles to follow in 2006 and 2007.

Lee remains tied for sixth on UF's all-time rebounding list (869) with Al Horford and Bob Emrick. Former Florida coach Billy Donovan said Lee was the best rebounder he'd ever coached. I'd put Lee up there with Horford, Joakim Noah, Chandler Parsons and Dorian Finney-Smith as the best Gator rebounders that I've seen in 14 years covering the team.

When the New York Knicks selected Lee with the last pick in the first round of the 2005 NBA draft (30th overall), Knick fans at Madison Square Garden booed. Spike Lee questioned the pick. But then Knicks GM Isaiah Thomas trusted the recommendation of Donovan that Lee was an explosive player capable of thriving in a pick-and-roll system. Lee averaged double figures in scoring in four of his five seasons with the Knicks, including 20.2 points in 2009-10, before being traded to the Warriors...

All-Time Teams for each current SEC school based solely on what the players did in the NBA/ABA during the Arkansas era ('91-present).

Mizzou

Anthony Peeler  After being selected 15th overall in the 1992 NBA Draft, Peeler played 13 seasons in the NBA averaging about 10-12 ppg. Peeler is third all-time in points scored in Mizzou history with 1,970 points and is currently the school record holder in steals and assists. The 1992 Big 8 Conference Player of the Year was never an NBA All-Star.

DeMarre Carroll  Carroll came to Mizzou as a transfer from Vanderbilt in 2007 in order to play for his uncle, former Missouri coach Mike Anderson. During his time at Mizzou, Carroll was named Big 12 Conference Newcomer of the Year in 2007-08 and the Big 12 Tournament Most Valuable Player in 2009. His motor, size, speed and grit should allow him to continue his NBA career for years to come.

Jordan Clarkson  Filipino-American guard. He was All-SEC second team as a redshirt junior after following Frank Haith from Tulsa. In part for family reasons, Clarkson would forego his senior season, was drafted late in the second round and was assigned to the then Laker D League team. He is currently the most productive scorer among Mizzou alum with over 14 ppg in the NBA.

Keyon Dooling  Former Mizzou point guard Keyon Dooling spent only two seasons in a Tigers uniform before bolting for the NBA. Dooling retired from the NBA in 2013, citing personal issues that stem from past abuse. Dooling was the 10th overall pick of the 2000 NBA Draft and played 12 solid seasons in the NBA, only starting 86 of the 721 his games. An explosive scorer during his days at Mizzou, Dooling was a solid NBA defender.

Linas Kleiza  Leiza played two seasons at Mizzou under Quinn Snyder. While a decent NBA reserve from '05 to '13, Kleiza stars as a member of the Lithuania national team.

Kareem Rush  Rush played two seasons at Mizzou, and as a sophomore, led the Big 12 in scoring, averaging 21.1 points per game. Rush is fifth all-time in three-pointers made with 226 in his Mizzou career. He was drafted as the 20th pick in the first round of the 2002 NBA Draft. Rush's best season was in 2007-08 with the Pacers. Rush played in 71 games for Indiana, averaging 8.3 points per game while serving as an outside threat off the bench.

Flip Pressey  Phil was Coaches 8-man 1st Team All-SEC and led the SEC in assists (7 apg) in '13. He skipped his senior season and while undrafted saw quality minutes as an NBA rookie with the Celtics after an ACL injury suffered by Rajon Rondo. Since 2016 Pressey has played for Barcelona.

Jabari Brown  Part of the Haith transfer program, Brown led the SEC in scoring in '14 with nearly 20 ppg and was 1st Team All-SEC. After passing on his senior season, he joined Jordan Clarkson on the Laker D-Fenders. He averaged 11.9 ppg for the Lakers in his lone NBA season to-date, '14-15.

Melvin Booker  The father of former UK reserve guard Devin Booker, Melvin was Big 8 Player of the Year in '94 helping Mizzou reach the Elite 8.  He played over 500 minutes in the league in '96-97.

Kim English  English led Missouri to a 30-win season in 2011-12, and was selected in the second round of the NBA draft by the Pistons. He left Mizzou as the 11th all-time leading scorer. He played over 400 NBA minutes in '14.

Thomas Gardner and Derrick Grimm were other Mizzou players since '91-92 who had a brief run in the NBA.

Former Vanderbilt basketball player Perry Wallace died Friday at 69

QuoteWallace was the first African-American to receive a scholarship to play basketball in the Southeastern Conference. Not only did he excel on the court for the Commodores, earning a fifth-round selection in the 1970 NBA Draft, he also excelled academically, earning an engineering degree from Vanderbilt and a law degree from Columbia University. He went on to have a distinguished career as an attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice and later as a law professor.

The Nashville, Tenn., native passed away in Rockville, Md.

Author Andrew Maraniss helped tell Wallace's story in a book titled Strong Inside: Perry Wallace and the Collision of Race and Sports in the South:

    "At the time Perry was playing – in the South, in the 1960s – there weren't a whole lot of people out there promoting his story," Maraniss said. "In the years since, he's moved on with his life and hasn't been one of those athletes who live off their athletic glory.

    "Perry talked about his feelings before he would go off on road trips as the deepest sense of dread. He would imagine the worst that could happen, and that was to get shot and killed on the basketball court or around town before the game."

Andrew Maraniss‏ @trublu24

The world lost one of its true gentlemen today. My friend and mentor has passed away. Rest In Peace, Perry Wallace. Your influence will live on in so many of us who admired you.

Alonzo Gee joins 2 other former Alabama players on G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce


QuoteThree Alabama players who were never teammates on the Crimson Tide are now playing together on the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the NBA Gatorade League.

Alonzo Gee returned to professional basketball over the weekend by signing with Sioux Falls, which already had Tony Mitchell and Jimmie Taylor on the roster.

The Skyforce didn't ease Gee back onto the court. He had 15 points and five steals in 31 minutes in Sioux Falls' 106-99 loss to the Iowa Wolves...

After playing from 2005-06 through 2008-09 at Alabama, Gee appeared in 417 NBA games with six teams over the next eight seasons. He started every game during the 2012-13 season for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Mitchell had 25 points, 12 assists and seven rebounds on Sunday night and is averaging 22.0 points per game this season. He played at Alabama from the 2009-10 season into the 2011-12 campaign, when a suspension ended his collegiate career.

Mitchell has played in three NBA games -- all for the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2013-14 season -- but he's had a worldwide basketball career and was the NBA Development League Rookie of the Year in the 2012-13 season with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants.

Taylor played at Alabama from the 2013-14 season through the 2016-17 season. He's averaged 4.2 points and 4.0 rebounds per game for the Skyforce this season.

Senior trio matches famed F-Troop. Dores bomb 17 3-pointers, roll over Alcorn State.
Recap of Vandy's 92-51 win.
http://tnne.ws/2kHWsn6


QuoteVanderbilt's current senior trio joined the famed F-Troop of the 1970s in a 92-51 win over Alcorn State Friday as the only classes in program history to tout three 1,000-point scorers.

Matthew Fisher-Davis and Riley LaChance already topped 1,000 points in their careers last season. Fellow senior Jeff Roberson joined the club in the first half against Alcorn State. He entered the game needing 17 points to reach 1,000, and he scored 18 points with four 3-pointers in the first half.

Roberson said his mother, Pamela, alerted him that the 1,000-point club was in reach before he headed to his Houston home for a short holiday break.

After the game, his mom tweeted that she "told him to complete that assignment before he came home for Christmas."

Roberson finished with 21 points and a career-high five 3-pointers. LaChance had 16 points, and Fisher-Davis added 15.

Vanderbilt's F-Troop, including Butch Feher, Joe Ford and Jeff Fosnes, each were in the 1,000-point club in 1976. They came to the Commodores in the freshman class of the 1972-73 season.

Fisher-Davis, LaChance and Roberson arrived at Vanderbilt in then-coach Kevin Stallings' 2014 signing class, which also included Wade Baldwin and Shelton Mitchell. Baldwin left Vanderbilt after his sophomore season and became the No. 17 pick of the Memphis Grizzlies. He is now with the G League team of the Portland Trailblazers. Mitchell transferred to Clemson, where he is the starting point guard.

"If you look at our class, if Wade stayed one more year, he would've gotten (1,000 points) too," LaChance said.

So how does Vanderbilt's current trio of 1,000-point scorers stack up to the F-Troop?

Fosnes (1,579), Feher (1,345) and Ford (1,193) scored a combined 4,117 points. They posted a 74-33 record over four seasons with an SEC regular-season title and a bid to the NCAA tournament bid, which only included 25 teams at the time [had to win the SEC regular season to get in].

Fisher-Davis (1,165), LaChance (1,161) and Roberson (1,004) have scored a combined 3,330 points and 19 regular-season games remaining in their senior year. Over three-and-half seasons, they have a record of 64-51 and two NCAA tournament appearances in a 68-team field.

The current trio of 1,000-point scorers does not have a nickname like F-Troop...

"Masons" might fit: Vandy entered the night with the worst 3-point percentage (<30) in the SEC

All-Time SEC Team composed of the most productive player from each school based on NBA/ABA.

Shaq, LSU, with 28,596 points and 13,099 rebounds in 19 seasons, Shaq outscored Dan Issel and is by far the number one NBA salary earner by an SEC alum. He averaged almost 30 points and 14 rebounds for the 2000 Lakers. He ranks 6th all-time in points scored, 5th in field goals, 13th in rebounds, and 7th in blocks. College Player of the Year and two-time SEC player of the year, Dale Brown met Shaq while his step father was stationed in Germany and Brown thought the young teen was a military man. He wrote him encouraging letters and Shaq landed at LSU where he played three seasons. His statue is in front of the practice facility.

Charles Barkley, Auburn, 23,757 points in 15 seasons averaging 22 and 11.7.  The Hall of Famer won two Olympic Gold Medals, was an 11-time NBA All-Star and the 1993 NBA MVP. Sir Charles was named to the NBA All-Time 50th Anniversary Team. His straightforward approach as an analyst is respected. Barkley was SEC POY in 1984 and three-time All-SEC. He was named to Auburn's All-Century team and was selected the SEC Player of the 1980's by a Birmingham paper.

Joe Johnson, Arkansas has scored 20,000 points and counting at the beginning of his 17th NBA season. At over $220,000,000 in NBA salary alone, Johnson has made more NBA money than any former SEC player besides Shaq.  He was named to his 7th NBA all-star team in 2014. Johnson averaged 25 ppg for the '06-07 Hawks. The former Arkansas Mr. Basketball, was the first Razorback freshman to lead the team in scoring and rebounding with 16 and 5.7. He helped lead the Hogs to an SEC Tournament championship requiring four games. He entered the NBA draft after his sophomore season where he was the 10th overall pick.

Bernard King, Vols. The Hall of Famer scored 19,655 points in 14 seasons, averaging 22.5 ppg for his NBA career.  King became the first NBA player in 20 years to score 50 points in consecutive games.  The TNT studio analysts once named King to their "Next 10", the ten players in their mind, who had just missed the NBA's 50 Greatest Players announced in 1996. King was an All-American in each of this three seasons at Tennessee and was three-time SEC POY. He is second all-time at UT in points and rebounds. He left for the NBA after his junior season. King and Ernie Grunfield led UT to the 1977 SEC Championship (no SEC tournament at the time). King was the subject of a recent ESPN documentary.

DeMarcus Cousins posts historic NBA numbers on Monday night for New Orleans Pelicans


QuoteFormer LeFlore High School standout DeMarcus Cousins turned in an NBA performance on Monday night that had previously been accomplished only by four of the greatest players in basketball history - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Elgin Baylor, Wilt Chamberlain and Oscar Robertson.

In the New Orleans Pelicans' 132-128 double-overtime victory against the Chicago Bulls at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Cousins recorded the 10th game in NBA history in which a player had at least 40 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists.

Chamberlain had six such games, and Abdul-Jabbar, Baylor and Robertson did it once apiece.

Cousins had 44 points, 24 rebounds and 10 assists for the first 40-20-10 game in the NBA since Abdul-Jabbar did it for the Milwaukee Bucks on Feb. 26, 1972.

Cousins also became the first player with three games of at least 40 points and 20 rebounds in one season since Houston Rockets center Moses Malone in the 1981-82 campaign.

Former Tennessee F Tobias Harris centerpiece in Blake Griffin blockbuster deal


QuoteFormer Tennessee forward Tobias Harris has become a journeyman player in the NBA, and he's about to move to his fourth team in eight seasons.

Harris has been traded from the Detroit Pistons to the Los Angeles Clippers in a deal that will bring multi-time NBA All-Star Blake Griffin to the Motor City.

For the Clippers, this trade was about getting value back for their best player. Harris is only 25 and is a well above-average wing in the NBA, while Avery Bradley is considered perhaps the best on-ball defender across the league. L.A. also gets two important draft picks that are only top 4 protected, starting in 2018.

Harris is averaging a career-high 18.1 points per game this season and making nearly 41 percent of his 3-point attempts, making him a highly desirable asset should the Clippers chose to move him to a contender in the next couple weeks. The NBA trade deadline is on Feb. 8.

WATCH: Charles Barkley says he once played an NBA game drunk


QuoteNBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley is famous for a lot of things on and off the basketball court, but his legend continues to grow years after his playing career ended.

But perhaps most interesting was the admission that he once played a game drunk after he was almost traded to the Los Angeles Lakers.

"So I get a call from my agent one morning, and he says 'I think we got a deal. You're going to the Lakers,'" Barkley recalled. "And I was so excited. So me and my boys went out to celebrate. We started getting drunk in the middle of the day. I was so excited.

"My agent called me back about three hours later and said the Sixers pulled out of the deal. And we had a game that night. I don't remember anything about that game. First of all, I was so pissed. But I was so drunk, too."

How every former SEC player performed in NBA All-Star Saturday Night contests


Quote[SEC, SEC] had representatives in both the Skills Challenge and the 3-point Contest, but did not have a rep in the Slam Dunk Contest.

Former Kentucky standout Devin Booker carried the flag for the SEC, winning the 3-point contest over former Tennessee forward Tobias Harris and ex-Florida star Bradley Beal. [Harris made the final round and taking home third prize.]

Former Gators player Al Horford and Jamaal Murray, another ex-member of the Wildcats, competed in the Skills Challenge, but neither player was good enough to take home the win. Murray was eliminated in the semifinals by eventual champion Spencer Dinwiddie.
