A fourth basketball coach has been arrested as Broward County School District officials investigate an alleged illegal gym rental scheme that they say cost schools tens of thousands of dollars.
Shaune Cannon, 50, was a longtime school district employee and worked as a behavioral technician at Forest Glen Middle School in Coral Springs. He is also listed as a boys’ varsity basketball coach at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.
He joins three other Broward County coaches, including Coral Springs High School coaches Brenton Hankerson and Donald Calloway, on a growing list of staff who allegedly orchestrated under-the-table tournament deals for personal financial gain.
According to a complaint affidavit provided by school district officials, Cannon allegedly facilitated four illicit basketball tournaments from April to June 2025.
Like the other coaches charged in the investigation, the document states that Cannon received Zelle payments from Prime Time Hoops and Hoopfluence basketball associations for use of Forest Glen’s gymnasium.
The document alleges that Forest Glen Middle School lost $11,545 in potential revenue because of the scheme.
“This latest arrest in the ongoing investigation by Broward Schools Police further demonstrates the Superintendent’s focus on maintaining integrity across the District and addressing any behavior that compromises the public trust,” John J. Sullivan, Broward County Public Schools’ Chief of Staff and Communications, wrote in a statement to the Coral Springs News.
Cannon is charged with organized scheme to defraud and grand theft, according to a complaint affidavit and Broward County court records. A hearing date has not been set as of Feb. 10.
