Alabama fired baseball coach Brad Bohannon on Thursday after a report of suspicious bets involving his team , with the school saying he violated the standards, duties and responsibilities expected of university employees.

No details were disclosed on why Bohannon was let go after five years on the job, but the firing came three days after a report warning of suspicious wagers prompted Ohios top gambling regulator to bar licensed sportsbooks in the state from accepting bets on Alabama baseball games . Pennsylvania and New Jersey have since followed suit.

ESPN reported later Thursday that surveillance video from the sportsbook located at the Cincinnati Reds Great American Ballpark indicated the person who placed the bets was communicating with Bohannon at the time. ESPN cited multiple anonymous sources with direct information about the investigation.
