Ex-Hall aide ‘offended’ by claims

If Seton Hall gets into any trouble over the FBI’s investigation into corruption in college basketball, it will have nothing to do with former assistant coach Dwayne “Tiny” Morton, he told The Post on Monday night.

The Lincoln High School basketball coach, who spent 2014-15 as an assistant coach at Seton Hall, said the accusations he was on an agent’s payroll are inaccurate. On Friday, Yahoo Sports released the expense reports of former ASM Sports employee Christian Dawkins from the Feds’ Sept. 26 raid on former NBA agent Andy Miller’s agency’s office, and it included an alleged payment to Morton of $9,500.

“The Yahoo reports are false about me receiving payments from Andy Miller,” said Morton, who spoke in measured tones and clearly was angered by the position he finds himself in. “Furthermore, my relationship with Andy Miller began and ended with Sebastian Telfair.

“I’m more offended than anything because it’s not true. I got kids who look up to me. A lot of these people are just writing things they want to write.”

Morton came to Seton Hall as part of a package deal with superstar player Isaiah Whitehead, the biggest recruit of the Kevin Willard era.

Morton, who also teaches middle school math, said he has never met Dawkins and doesn’t even know what he looks like. When asked then why he would be on the expense report, Morton said: “I can’t answer that. I don’t know what’s going on on that side.”

Morton said he encouraged Whitehead and his family to hire Jeff Schwartz as an agent, and not Miller, saying it’s a misconception the two had a working relationship in past years.

“As I have stated many times before, I never received a dime from anyone outside of my day job,” he said.
