Report: Prominent agent's office raided as part of FBI NCAA probe
The office of agency ASM Sports was raided Tuesday as part of a wide-ranging FBI probe into corruption in NCAA basketball, according to multiple reports. The computer of lead agent Andy Miller was confiscated, sources told Forbes' Darren Heitner.

Miller represents several NBA players including Kyle Lowry, Serge Ibaka, Kristaps Porzingis, and Myles Turner. The agency previously employed Christian Dawkins, one of the people indicted Tuesday along with nine other men. Dawkins was reportedly fired by ASM in May for running up $42,000 in Uber charges on an unidentified NBA player's credit card.
Four NCAA assistant coaches - Auburn's Chuck Person, Arizona's Book Richardson, USC's Tony Bland, and Oklahoma State's Lamont Evans - were arrested as part of an investigation into blue-chip basketball prospects being steered toward certain schools, agents, and apparel makers.
The investigation extends to Louisville, where head coach Rick Pitino denied any knowledge of wrongdoing Tuesday night.
