Who knows. I mean I can sort of buy that coaches may not have been aware of involvement between current players and agents. I’m not sure what’s in it for the coaches in that situation.

Now, with high school and AAU kids, that’s a whole different matter.

It’s possible that DJ Newbill received an impermissible benefit - the agent’s $2k loan recorded on the agent’s ledger on December 31, 2015. It’s not stated exactly when Newbill received the loan.

However, Newbill exhausted his college eligibility on March 13, 2015, after Penn State’s season ended with a loss to Purdue in the Big Ten Tournament.

Newbill attended the NBA pre-draft Portsmouth Invitational in April 2015, participated in the agent’s NBA Pro Day in Las Vegas in June 2015, and signed with a French professional team in August 2015, flying to France to join the team that month. Newbill repaid the loan in 2017.

If the loan was provided before March 14, 2015, DJ was ineligible for any games he played after that. But it also seems possible that the loan was a bridge to his professional salary checks, a pretty common practice once a prospect declares for the pros following his college career. We’ll see.
