As in any developing scandal, the paramount question here is, "Who knew?" In the case of the UConn Con, it's more than clear that the Connecticut coaches knew about a former student manager, Josh Nochimson, and his relationship with a recruit named Nate Miles. The issue becomes whether they also knew that Nochimson, a sports agent accused of stealing more than $1 million by at least one famous client, was providing Miles with lodging, transportation, meals and representation while UConn was recruiting him.If the coaches were aware -- and the NCAA concludes that thousands of phone calls and text messages made to Nochimson in a two-year period, some by head coach Jim Calhoun, violate the spirit of a new institutional rule called "coach control" -- well, folks, we might be looking at our next Kelvin Sampson/Indiana superscam in college basketball.
