A third Broward County high school basketball coach was arrested Friday after he was of accused of improperly renting out school gyms and profiting nearly $3,000 from it.<\/p>\n

Coral Springs High School girls\u2019 assistant basketball coach Donald Calloway, 49, faces charges of organized scheme to defraud $10,000 or more and grand theft in excess of $10,000 but less than $20,000, according to a probable cause affidavit.<\/p>\n

Two other coaches<\/a> were arrested on similar charges Wednesday: Henry Lewis McNabb, 42, a security specialist and former coach at Blanche Ely; and Brenton Hankerson, 43, a security specialist and girls varsity coach at Coral Springs High.<\/p>\n

Broward District Schools Police Department began investigating in June after the coaches\u2019 alleged \u201cfraudulent activities involving the rental of facilities at Broward District Schools\u201d were reported, the affidavit said. One of the facilities was Coral Springs High, the affidavit said.<\/p>\n

Investigators determined that Calloway was renting out the school\u2019s gym for \u201cillicit basketball tournaments\u201d through \u201cprivate agreements\u201d with outside basketball associations, the affidavit said. Calloway allegedly arranged payments for the gym rentals through Hankerson, who then paid Calloway.<\/p>\n

Unauthorized tournaments hosted by two different outside basketball organizations were held at the school\u2019s gym on multiple dates in April, May and June, and bank records subpoenaed as part of the investigation showed that Calloway received Zelle payments from Hankerson in connection with those dates, the probable cause affidavit said.<\/p>\n

In total, Calloway profited $2,800 in the payments, the affidavit said, with Coral Springs High School\u2019s total potential revenue loss amounting to $11,805.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis most recent arrest by Broward Schools Police is part of the ongoing investigation into the improper use of District facilities for personal gain,\u201d district spokesman John Sullivan said in a statement Friday afternoon. \u201cIt, again, reaffirms the superintendent\u2019s commitment to transparency and to rooting out public corruption. This employee, like the others, will be subject to termination in accordance with District policy.\u201d<\/p>\n

McNabb is accused of having held \u201cadditional illicit basketball tournaments\u201d at Blanche Ely in April, May and June, according to an arrest report, and similar tournaments at Hollywood Hills High School on three occasions in May.<\/p>\n

McNabb\u2019s bank statements showed he received about $5,200 in payments from events, with an estimated loss for the district of $12,920 due to their inability to lease the gyms properly, the report said.<\/p>\n

Subpoenaed bank records showed that Hankerson received $5,950 in Zelle payments from the two outside basketball groups, according to an arrest report in Hankerson\u2019s case.<\/p>\n
