A group of college basketball coaches held a meeting in Las Vegas on Sunday that had nothing to do with basketball.
Or, at least, nothing that directly had to do with basketball. All were victims of alleged fraud by David Salinas, a Texas financial planner who invested for many top college coaches - and apparently made off with their money.
It was previously reported that one topic discussed at the meeting would be "perceived NCAA issues that have arisen" as a result of the coaches' financial ties to Salinas, who also ran a Houston AAU program. That appears to have been incorrect. The coaches have maintained that they did not attempt to recruit players from Salinas' AAU program, at least not in connection to their financial ties to him.
Instead, they were mostly just trying to figure out a way to get their money returned. The focus of the meeting, attorney Dennis Coleman says, was "individual assets."
Salinas committed suicide last week.
