New details have emerged in the gambling controversy involving former University of Alabama baseball coach Brad Bohannon. 

Bohannon was fired in May after allegedly being linked to "suspicious" wagers that prompted several states to halt betting on a college baseball game. 

Sources told Sports Illustrated in a report published Monday that a youth league coach from Indiana was captured on surveillance video texting Bohannon using an encrypted messaging app while attempting to place a $100,000 wager at a sportsbook in Ohio.
