Current Nebraska head basketball coach Doc Sadler and former coach Danny Nee are among a long list of college coaches that had financial ties to a Houston man who was found dead of an apparent suicide on Sunday. David Salinas, an investment advisor and founder of a prominent summer basketball program in the Houston area, was being investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission for fraudulent practices that may have cost his investors, many of whom were prominent head basketball coaches, millions of dollars. CBS Sports has confirmed the ties between Sadler and Nee and Salinas, as well as involvement from other coaches including former Arizona head coach Lute Olson and Texas Tech coach Billy Gillespie. Sadler signed Antonio Edwards out of Salinas’ Houston Select program in 2008. He has thus far declined comment.
