Ex-IU basketball assistant Chuck Martin named in latest Yahoo story on FBI's NCAA basketball probe

>> An earlier version of this story identified Christian Dawkins' email as having been sent between him and Chuck Martin. It was sent between him and an unnamed superior at ASM Sports, according to Yahoo! Sports.

After not appearing in Yahoo Sports' first bombshell report Friday on the FBI's investigation into NCAA basketball that mentioned some of the nation's top programs, some IU basketball fans might have exhaled.

Well, that sense of relief didn't last long.

Yahoo published a second report late Friday. In it, former IU assistant Chuck Martin is named in emails sent by Christian Dawkins, who worked for ASM Sports agency and NBA agent Andy Miller, to superiors at ASM Sports.

Per Yahoo:

"Dawkins, provides a roadmap for the quid-pro-quo relationship between the agent world and college coaches. He dangles a high school prospect — five-star recruit Brian Bowen — as potential trade bait for schools to steer their best players to ASM Sports. On the same July day, Dawkins wrote to (Andy) Miller that he connected with two Big Ten assistants, Dwayne Stephens of Michigan State and Chuck Martin, formerly of Indiana. "Chuck Martin – trying to close the deal on Brian Bowen for Indiana," Dawkins said in an email to an unnamed party at ASM Sports, according to Yahoo. "I told him if we can work together and if he can push for us to get (Hoosiers) Thomas Bryant and OG Anunoby two projected first rounders from IU this year we can work something out.”

Neither Anunoby nor Bryant signed with Andy Miller's ASM agency after leaving Bloomington. Martin declined IndyStar's request for comment.

IU athletic department spokesman J.D. Campbell told Yahoo! during Friday's game against Ohio State, "This is the first that we’ve heard anything about this."

Martin joined Tom Crean's Hoosiers staff in 2014 and his East Coast connections were key in landing prized recruit Thomas Bryant. Martin now is an assistant at South Carolina for Frank Martin.

Brian Bowen was the player at the center of the Louisville's pay-for-play scandal earlier this year. He never played for the Cardinals as is now at South Carolina.

Dawkins was previously accused by the FBI of conspiring with an Adidas executive and Bowen's father, Brian Sr., to attempt to pay Bowen's family $100,000 to ensure Brian Jr. attended Louisville and then signed with Adidas and with particular agents after turning professional.

Someone believed to be Bowen Sr. received a portion of the promised payment, about $19,500, according to the FBI.

Bowen, who played his senior season at La Lumiere School in LaPorte.

Friday morning, Yahoo reported that at least 20 Division I schools and more than two dozen players had received impermissible benefits from Miller and his agency. Clemson, Creighton, Iowa State, Kansas, Louisville, North Carolina, Notre Dame, South Carolina, Texas, Southern California, Utah, Vanderbilt, Virginia, Wichita State and Xavier were all listed in the documents.

ESPN also reported Friday night that Sean Miller, head coach at Arizona and brother of Indiana coach Archie Miller, was caught on a wiretap talking about a $100,000 payment from Dawkins to Arizona freshman DeAndre Ayton.

"When Dawkins asked Sean Miller if he should work with assistant coach Emanuel “Book” Richardson to finalize their agreement, Miller told Dawkins he should deal directly with him when it came to money, the sources said," ESPN reported. "The telephone calls between Miller and Dawkins were among 3,000 hours of conversations intercepted from Dawkins’ phone alone by the FBI."

NCAA president Mark Emmert issued a statement Friday addressing the Yahoo report.

“These allegations, if true, point to systematic failures that must be fixed and fixed now if we want college sports in America. Simply put, people who engage in this kind of behavior have no place in college sports. They are an affront to all those who play by the rules. Following the Southern District of New York’s indictments last year, the NCAA Board of Governors and I formed the independent Commission on College Basketball, chaired by Condoleezza Rice, to provide recommendations on how to clean up the sport. With these latest allegations, it’s clear this work is more important now than ever. The Board and I are completely committed to making transformational changes to the game and ensuring all involved in college basketball do so with integrity. We also will continue to cooperate with the efforts of federal prosecutors to identify and punish the unscrupulous parties seeking to exploit the system through criminal acts.”
