The first is a shorter piece in which the writer opines that UCF was just doing what all the big boys do. You can ignore that take but read the article for two reasons:

1) For a quick summation of the incident that got Jones in trouble. Key players: Kevin Ware (the kid from Louisville who suffered that gruesome injury in the tourney) and a shady runner named Kenneth Caldwell.

2) For the comparison to violations that Roy Williams alleged to have occurred with the recruitment of Mike Miller to Florida, when both Ostrom and AG were on Billy D's staff. Unlike what happened with Donnie Jones, Billy D and the rest of his staff were ultimately investigated and cleared by the NCAA of all wrongdoing. But as you read, do keep in mind that pre-Florida, Tom Ostrom was himself one of these runners, albeit one who made it out of that seedy AAU underworld.

Then, if you want more details here is the longer New York Times piece that details the incident. Oddly, our old buddy Oliver Purnell is quoted therein:

Is this a guy you'd be worried about associating with Dayton?
