Oklahoma State's Lamont Evans Sentenced to 3 Months in Prison Amid NCAA Hoops Scandal

Yet another domino has fallen in the ongoing purge of corruption within college basketball recruiting, which has found several assistant coaches guilty of bribery.

Former South Carolina and Oklahoma State assistant Lamont Evans has been sentences to three months in prison after accepting bribes to link players with managers and financial advisors.

Evans was also forced to forfeit $22,000 and perform 100 hours of community service as part of the punishment handed his way.

Evans has been serving as the associate head coach and recruiting coordinator under Brad Underwood during his tenure in Stillwater. Evans was fired from his role at Oklahoma State after his arrest. While he briefly gianed $22,000 in bribes, he lost out on a whole lot more; a potential head coaching job at Oklahoma State, which was instead handed to assistant Mike Boynton and pays $600,000 per year.

Tough luck, Lamont.

Some consider this a win for the former assistant coach, as the prosecution originally was seeking 18 months in prison. However, Evans, who was born in The Bahamas and is a citizen of Barbados, could also face deportation.

Even with Tony Bland, Book Richardson, and now Evans behind bars, this probe is by no means complete and more arrests will be made. One of the ugliest chapters in recent NCAA basketball memory is finally being delivered some justice, with multiple law-breaking figures paying the piper.
