FAMU terminates women's assistant coach's employment following grand theft charges

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- The FAMU athletic department has released a statement regarding now former assistant women's basketball coach Terrance Chatman Sr.

The statement reads, in full, as follows:


Today’s arrest of Terrance Chatman, Florida A&M University’s former assistant women’s basketball coach, concludes an investigation that was launched immediately after FAMU Athletics was contacted by a supporter. It was alleged that Mr. Chatman cashed a $5,000 check that was donated to FAMU’s Men’s Basketball Team.


FAMU Athletics forwarded the donor’s claim to FAMU's Department of Campus Safety and Security and placed Mr. Chatman on leave pending the outcome of the investigation. Mr. Chatman is charged with grand theft and fraud-uttering a false instrument in connection with the allegations.
