Auburn fans were rocked when federal law enforcement officers arrested men’s basketball associate head coach Chuck Person, Auburn University’s all-time leading scorer and a 14-year NBA player. Almost two years later, Judge Loretta A. Preska sentenced Person to time served, 200 community service hours and two years of probation.

In addition, coaches at Arizona University, University of Southern California and Oklahoma State University also pleaded guilty to avoid prison. Furthermore, a jury convicted former Adidas executive James Gatto, former Adidas consultant Merl Code and aspiring sports agent Christian Dawkins.
