This seems like a mega distraction for the Jazz team. I wonder how important Dooling was for them as an assistant coach.
Quote:....added to a criminal case in which 18 former NBA players were charged with illegally pocketing millions of dollars by defrauding the league's health and welfare benefit plan.
The rewritten indictment added Dooling to the case first brought in October, when federal officials said a number of former NBA players combined to collect about $2.5 million from the benefit plan.
Quote:The Jazz said Dooling made the club aware of the indictment Wednesday morning, and he was placed on paid administrative leave by the team.
"It is a case concerning his time at the National Basketball Players Association, prior to him joining our organization," the Jazz said in a statement. "... Due to the ongoing legal process, we will refrain from further comment."
