An ex-AAU CEO is accused of sexually abusing boys while he was a ESPN coach . The AAU got `` cryptic '' messages in November and did its own probe , a spokesman says . The group notified Tennessee police last week , setting off its investigation , he adds .

ESPN aired a report last week featuring six alleged accusers of Armstrong .
