Tim Miles has been a head coach for two decades, so he knows when the recruitment of a player starts to feel sketchy.

“You know when you’re dancing with the devil,” Miles said Monday. “You might suspect it like, eh, this one is a little funky here. Like, why is this kid interested in us, and whatever it may be. And then pretty soon somebody asks for something and we’re like, ‘No, sorry, we don’t play that game.’”

Other schools, though, appear to be playing that game. College basketball has been rocked in the past few months over allegations that shoe companies help fund commitments of high-profile recruits. A two-year FBI investigation concluded last week and found Adidas executive Jim Gatto, former Adidas consultant Merle Code and aspiring agent Christian Dawkins guilty of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
