Dave Bliss resigns as coach at Oklahoma school days after ‘Disgraced’ premiere

Dave Bliss, the former Baylor men’s basketball coach involved in a cover-up scandal in 2003, resigned Monday as head coach at Southwestern Christian University in Bethany, Okla.

The resignation comes three days after the premiere of a Showtime documentary, “Disgraced,” on the murder of Baylor player Patrick Dennehy by teammate Carlton Dotson and accusations against Bliss and Baylor.

In off-camera remarks to the producer of “Disgraced,” Bliss, 73, reasserted his claim that Dennehy “was selling drugs,” and reinforced the claim later by saying “he was the worst.”

Authorities investigating the case found no evidence to suggest the murder was drug related, nor was there any evidence Dennehy was selling drugs.
