Mike Rice: Video of Rutgers Coach Assaulting Players and Throwing Balls At Their Head

[tooge]

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.

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...
