Boston Celtics assistant coach Jerome Allen was suspended indefinitely by the team for his involvement in a college admissions scandal during his tenure as head coach at Penn, according to Sports Illustrated’s Ben Baskin.
Allen was originally suspended for two weeks after he pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering last July. He was then suspended indefinitely in March after word came out that he helped a colleague take bribes after his departure from Penn.
The Celtics made the following comment on Allen’s legal issues through a spokesperson:
"Jerome was forthright, accountable, and contrite in discussing the mistakes he made prior to becoming a Celtics employee," a team spokesperson said.
