Negro Basketball Coach Herman Charles Nash Dies in Jail a Week After Being Sentenced for bouncing his unwashed smelly balls off the ass of a 16 year old girl

Herman Nash's death at the Pitchess Detention Center North Facility was reported to the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau Wednesday.

CASTAIC, CA - The custody death of a former youth basketball coach a week after he was sentenced to a year in jail for having sex with a 16-year-old girl was under investigation today.

The coroner's office identified him as 47-year-old Carson resident Herman Charles Nash, who helped lead the boys basketball team at West Hollywood Pacific Hills to a state championship just three years ago.

The death at the Pitchess Detention Center North Facility at 29340 The Old Road was reported to the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau at 4:54 p.m. Wednesday, according to Deputy Ryan Rouzan.

The circumstances of Nash's death are under investigation. A message left for the homicide detective handling the case was not immediately returned.

An autopsy was pending, coroner's Lt. Dave Smith said.

Nash, who worked as a personal trainer in the Los Angeles area and as a basketball coach for the Pacific Elite Basketball Club, was sentenced on April 20 to a year in county jail and 52 weeks of sex offender treatment.

Police said after Nash's arrest last June that the girl had received one-on-one training sessions from him.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Anne H. Egerton also barred Nash from having any contact with the girl or any other minors other than his own children and suspended a four-year, four-month state prison term that Nash would only have had to serve if he violated the conditions of his five-year probation.
