Celtics assistant coach Jerome Allen receives 15-year show-cause penalty from NCAA

Error 0:

Celtics assistant coach since 2015 Jerome Allen has been hit with a 15-year show-cause penalty due to the bribery scandal at Penn.

Former Penn coach Jerome Allen was hit a 15-year show-cause penalty after he accepted $300,000 in bribes to get a wealthy Florida businessman’s son into the University of Pennsylvania.

The Quakers, out of the Ivy League, also were slapped by the NCAA with two years of probation, fined $5,000 and given recruiting punishments.

Allen was sentenced to probation and ordered to pay a fine last July in the college bribery case.
