Former NBA player and minor league basketball coach Vincent Askew was arrested in Miami on Wednesday and charged with three counts of sexual battery for allegedly having sex with a 16-year-old girl.

The 43-year-old Askew reportedly approached the girl under the guise of being a local high school basketball coach interested in recruiting her to the school’s team because telling 16-year-old girls your a washed-up NBA player apparently doesn’t lure them into your windowless van the way it used to.

While Askew has never coached at the high school he identified, he was seeking a job there. School officials have not said whether the allegations will affect Askew’s bid for employment there.
