Jacksonville under probe by FBI over point shaving
The FBI is investigating reports that Jacksonville University basketball players from 1973-74, with former coach Bob Gottlieb, were involved in point shaving. Two former players are named by Gottlieb, though identities are undisclosed. FBI head W M Alexander said the probe began last May and may involve others, but not the 1974-75 season. Henry Williams, now with the Utah Stars, called the inquiry foolish, noting Jacksonville finished 20 10 that year and placed fourth in the National Invitation Tournament.
