Mike Rice: Video of Rutgers Coach Assaulting Players and Throwing Balls At Their Head
http://www.thebiglead.com/index.php/...t-their-heads/
Mike Rice was suspended for three games and fined $50,000 in December for his conduct during team practices. ESPN’s Outside the Lines obtained video of him hitting, shoving and kicking players as well as verbally abusing them and even throwing a basketball at a player’s head. It is incredible this did not result in him being fired, especially at a public institution. Three games? Counseling? Really? Under what rationale is he let back in a room with “student-athletes?” One isolated incident would have been bad. This appears to be a systematic pattern. It’s really hard to see Rice or the AD surviving this. You have to question why Rutgers felt it was a good idea, legally or practically, to let the AD get tag-teamed by Jeremy Schaap and Don Van Natta Jr. on live television. Just wow |

I was watching the interview with the Rutgers Athletic Director. They were pwning the shit out of him. At one point his voice was trembling. He seemed like a big douche and kept saying "this is a first offense" FIRST OFFENSE? It went on for 2 years, but he kept saying first offense. **** that guy and **** rutgers.

Rutgers really don't like their athletes. First paralyzing them, now trying to kill them during practice.... If I was the 6'5 Black stud, I would've decked him then transferred.

What a douche move, If I was his boss I'd ban him for 3 days.

Rutgers has to fire him, but not necessarily because of what he did. They have to fire him because no one in their right mind would ever ****ing play there. |

I like how at the end he fires a ball at a player and the assistant hands him another ball. Rofl. Dude needs to be fired.

I'm surprised they commented on him firing a basketball at a guy's head and not throwing a missile at a guy's balls.
I really don't care about coaches that are tough. I have a ton of respect for Bobby Knight. This video pisses me off because this guy thinks this is actual coaching. |

To add fire to fire, looks like the whistleblower got fired. And now he's going to file a wrongful termination suit. Guess what? He's going to win and Rutgers is going to pay him a very nice settlement.
Lots of stupidity here. This goes beyond the coach. |

I was listening to 96.5 yesterday and they were saying that these players are adults and could have / should have done something about it and not put up with that crap. kinda pissed me off for a few reasons...
now I know errabody ain't gonna agree with me...but.... #1 - their scholarships are at risk if you make too many waves #2 - an 18 - 21 year old MALE, while legally an adult, for the most part are still immature kids. these guys are still KIDS. 18 -21 year old KIDS. being bullied by an adult. honestly I do believe if a coach tries the same crap in high school, one of those high school players is gonna beat his ass.

It could be a 23 year old boss treating 50 year old subordinates like that. It doesn't matter, it's inexcusable.

If Orson Wells was still alive, he'd say 'Big Brother is here and he is us'.
