Wake Forest HC Accuses Former Player's Agent of 'Deceitful' and 'Conniving' Conduct

Wake Forest head basketball coach Steve Forbes took agent Michael Tellem to task for his actions that he believes helped result in Bobi Klintman not returning to school for his sophomore season in 2023-24.

During an press conference on Friday, Forbes called his time working with Tellem, who was Klintman's NIL agent, "far and away the worst experience I have ever been a part of attempting to work with one of my player's agents" and described him as "deceitful," "conniving" and "underhanded."

Klintman declared for the 2023 NBA draft in April but maintained his college eligibility in case he didn't get the professional evaluation he was seeking.
