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 |

And when you represent a university, it doesn't help your case to be calling your players slurs. He should be fired. If anything, because this proves he is a shitty coach and no player would ever get recruited for rutgers knowing they'd have to deal with this guy. |

To a point is is - especially when the media "sensationalize" a story like this. I think the deal here is the University tried to cover it up and that made it worse. For the record, I've had a few asshole coaches do the same kinds things to me and my teammates as the Rutgers coach did (had a coach bounce a basketball off my head 5 or 6 times because I wasn't running a pic and roll fast enough) - we all just dealt with it. It was a different time - different place...
