Lawyers for former UNC assistant coach John Blake said Monday that their client did indeed engage in multiple financial transactions with NFL agent Gary Wichard during his time with the Tar Heels. Last week, Blake’s attorneys said they believed the transactions had occurred prior to Blake being hired at UNC. But after reviewing financial records, attorney William H. Beaver II said the transactions did occur while Blake was coaching at UNC. (Rivals.com)
