The University of Alabama fired head baseball coach Brad Bohannon on Thursday, days after a sports betting controversy involving the program came to light. It was reported that “suspicious wagering activity” took place involving the team's series with No. 1 LSU beginning on April 28.'
“Alabama director of athletics Greg Byrne announced he has initiated the termination process for head baseball coach Brad Bohannon for, among other things, violating the standards, duties, and responsibilities expected of university employees,” the university said in a statement.
Bohannon's time as Alabama's head coach is over, while the Crimson Tide (31-15) fight for a spot in the NCAA Tournament as the end of their regular season nears. Despite Bohannon's firing, there's still a lot we don't know about his involvement in the sports betting controversy.
