College coach rats on his own team
Here's a story about an Idaho State head basketball coach who was not retained and was mad about it...

But - as always there's a whole lot more to the story --
The head coach at Idaho State, while he was IN THE POSITION of head coach, was fully aware of illegal booster activity with friends and supporters of the Idaho State
program trying to lure players with money...
He knew of this activity yet kept completely silent while he was leading the team - then just as soon as he's let go -
he fires off a letter to the NCAA ratting on his former employer and turns them in for the illegal activity...
The story includes supposedly eyewitness accounts of recruits being paid off with cash as a bribe...
BUT did you know this is not the first time such an occurrence is known to have happened.....
Gotta wonder - was there a disgruntled coach who was booted off the BU coaching staff in 2005 just weeks before someone "anonymously" contacted the NCAA and ratted on Bradley causing the NCAA to unprecedentedly send TWO field investigators to scour Bradley without even notifying BU that an investigation was going to take place?
If indeed that happened then we might finally begin to know who was responsible for Bradley getting investigated - and recall -- the allegations regarded illegal off-season contact - something the NCAA spent countless hours trying to dig and prove but were completely unable to do so - so they settled for digging for other trivial crap like summer pay records and finally found something they could use. Some people's hero could be a rat, you decide...
