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 |

Imagine if this was UK or Duke. The fans would have sent death threats, hate mail, etc... to the guy brave enough to submit this video. But it wasn't UK or Duke. It was Rutgers. So the guy got fired -- enjoy your ****ing lawsuit, Rutgers assholes. |

I'll be 50 this year. I can't remember any part of my life I would have let anyone push me around or degrade me like this.
If these players didn't want to deck this guy, you think they would have come up with a plan to get him caught red handed, like this. There is no way I would have put up with this.

So is anyone watching ESPN? They carried the press conference about Tim Pernetti resigning. The analysts are ripping everybody apart, they are all saying they need to clean house - President, board of directors, everybody.
Really? Coach was an ass, they fired him. So now they all need to be fired? Okay. Am I off base here? And if all this is going on, how the hell did he recruit anybody? Why wasn't there mass transfers? |

Wow...
http://espn.go.com/new-york/mens-col...tting-12m-ipad Former Rutgers athletic director Tim Pernetti is getting $1.2 million in salary, plus an iPad, car allowance and more than two years of health insurance coverage under a settlement agreement. The Associated Press obtained details of the settlement Monday through an open records request with Rutgers. The Star-Ledger had previously reported some details. Pernetti resigned last week after a video was made public showing former men's basketball coach Mike Rice shoving players and berating them with anti-gay slurs. Pernetti suspended Rice in December 2012. The coach was fired last week, after the video was made public. Under his agreement, Pernetti is to be paid his base salary of $453,000 per year through June 2014 and a one-time payment of $679,500 in the next month. He gets the money even if he takes another job. He also gets his $12,000 per-year car allowance through June 2014 and health insurance and pension payments through October 2015. Pernetti also gets to keep his Rutgers-issued iPad and laptop computer. Rutgers agreed to represent Pernetti in any lawsuits related to his job as athletic director. The university agreed not to say anything negative about Pernetti to the media or prospective employers, and Pernetti agreed not to disparage the school publicly, though he is allowed to speak truthfully about the Rice situation. He also agreed to cooperate in any investigations by the school, NCAA or legal authorities. Rice was fired last week not for cause, meaning that under his contract he is in line to be paid just more than $1 million, or 75 percent of his remaining salary, plus a $100,000 bonus for staying on the job through the 2012-13 season.

Grown men check
Sports check Nobody has visible motor disabilities check I see no problem with the coaches actions here. When females and young teenagers are put through this then I would question the coaches teaching method. from the video, I've seen he managed to hit some of the men in the head.. ok he ****ed up there, but he didn't get up in there faces and throw the basketball till there faces started bleeding. |

If he was rubbing his balls on the players heads, I could see what the hoopla was about. Otherwise, meh.

The coach was an asshole, but the media blew this thing way out of proportion. He was just tryin to be a "hard knocks" type of coach and that shit is becoming more and more unacceptable in this new media age. It's stupid, but it is what it is.
