   Former basketball coach Barry Wolfe is due in Coles County Circuit Court this morning. Wolfe pleaded guilty last June to two counts of criminal sexual assault while in a supervisory position over the victim. Wolfe also pleaded guilty to a count of criminal sexual assault and a count of aggravated criminal sexual abuse of a victim between 13 and 18 years old. Wolfe was sentenced to a total of 60 years in prison. He is asking to withdraw his guilty pleas, saying his former legal counsel didn’t use current sentencing guidelines when explaining the sentences he might receive. Wolfe formerly coached a traveling basketball team and is accused of forcing some of his players into performing sex acts
