Michael Beasley Sues Former Agent Joel Bell For Allegedly Violating NCAA And Federal Violations
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Michael Beasley is suing his former agent, Joel Bell
in the civil suit which is a counter to a suit filed by Bell in January.
Bell’s suit claims Beasley wrongfully terminated his representation agreement with Bell Sports Inc. just prior to signing an endorsement deal with Adidas and therefore was in breach of contract.

The University of Oklahoma announced Thursday that the men’s basketball program committed two major rules violations when a former assistant coach failed to report that a player had received improper benefits and lied to the university and the NCAA investigators.
While former OU men’s basketball coach, now Duke assistant coach, Jeff Capel has never been implicated, the violations occurred with one of his assistants and during his time as head coach.
These charges are not new. There has been discussion about them over the course of the last few years.
Even if Capel was unaware of what his assistant was doing and had no part in personally setting up the payments to the player or anyone involved, what responsibility does he carry?
While he can’t be there with his staff and players around the clock, a head coach is accountable for the people that he hires or recruits.

To what degree is a head coach responsible for the various deeds and misdeeds of the entire program?
