[Mr_Twister]

Some old news ... Ira Bowman was a heck of a nice player. NJ native, Seton Hall Prep, Providence, Penn, NBA player. Joining Bruce Pearl’s Auburn staff. Climbing the coaching ranks.

Does that mean Brandon Knight is no longer an option to go there?

Was he back on the bench this weekend? He had been placed on leave as his former boss at Penn, Jerome Allen threw him under the bus. Allen said Bowman knew of the plan to allow a kid a slot used for the basketball team with Allen taking a $300K bribe to get the kid into Penn

Bowman was apparently the coach snagged in the FBI sting....the original post was from months ago.

AUBURN

The Tigers have had a wild ride from seventh nationally in December to unranked and now surging to their first Final Four. They've also had significant off-court issues, including a federal corruption case that led to a guilty plea for former assistant Chuck Person and the suspension of assistant Ira Bowman amid allegations he was involved in a bribery scheme during his time at Penn.
