I wonder if Bob Hurley, Sr. will be interested in the Rutgers job.  It seems like a good fit.  Although he may be harder on the players than Rice.  I believe a couple of Hurley's St. Anthony's players are on the Rutgers roster.

One can opine that any of the individual incidences likely does not warrant concern.  It is the accumulation of events that is problematic.  I think a lot of coaches, at almost every level, needs to watch the video, and must evaluate their approach.  I know Doc pushed it at times.  Based (at least in part) on the players temporary boycott, Danny had issues.  Any guesses on Bobby Knight's approach? 

 

What Rice did was bad, but just like with recruiting violations, many of these coaches live in glass houses.  Which coach is willing to throw the first stone?

 

The thing is the pushing really wasn't the thing that was shocking, it was chucking basketballs point blank at player's heads and bodies.

 It's kind of amazing that Rutgers finally took this measure only after the airing of the OTL story.  Trying to put myself into the situation:  If I had played for that coach, I'm almost certain that I'd have put my hands on that monster.  No one deserves to be abused by a supposed mentor.  At least the nightmare is over for the remaining Scarlet Knights.

happy for the rutgers players, and word on the street is that none of them wanted to complain because they're there for the degree and getting booted is bad for their academic prospects. not worth the risk to the schollie, in other words (friend of mine teaches there, and that's what I got from him). 

 

foolish to try to sweep this under the rug. don't know what it is with university presidents and coverups.

...and now, further developments:

 

Rutgers University’s athletic director, Tim Pernetti, has resigned in the wake of a video showing former head basketball coach Mike Rice’s abusive behavior toward players.

 

Rice was fired Wednesday, a day after the controversial video was released by ESPN. It showed Rice shoving players, throwing basketballs at their heads and shouting apparent homophobic slurs at them.

 

Pernetti had been under fire for his handling of the Rice incident. Pernetti had suspended and fined Rice for his behavior when he learned of it last year. Critics this week said the punishment had been insufficient and that the coach should have been fired at the time.

 

Rutgers assistant basketball coach Jimmy Martelli, who was videotaped shoving an unidentified player, resigned on the same day as Rice’s firing.

 

I wonder how Jim Delany's tummy is doing right now?

How embarrassing is this situation at Rutgers in comparison to:

 

Tattoogate at OSU

Sandusky at PSU

Nebraska losing AAU status weeks before joining the B1G

 

???

Sandusky incident is a whole different ballpark.

 

Few scandals could ever be as horrific as what that monster did.

 

By the way, does anyone know if/when it is possible to regain our AAU status?  If I am remembering correctly, both Maryland and Rutgers are AAU members, and we will still be the only Big Ten member that is not??

How much of a roll did Delaney play in getting the AD fired today ?

sandusky scandal is the worst in sports history. probably by a couple of light years. everything else is pedestrian in comparison.

Yelled homophobic slurs at them, huh?  That's probably what did it, what got him fired.  You can throw basketballs at a guy's head all you want, but for gawd's sake, don't call him a sissy.  That last one crosses a line that shan't be crossed.

 

Seriously, putting that in there with the rest of it, it just seems trivial in comparison.  It's like saying he gouged their eyes out with hot pokers, capped their knees, and called them bad names.  I mean REALLY bad names.  It's like one of those things doesn't belong on the same level as the rest.

 

But in order to make sure we know how truly evil that coach was, they gotta make sure we know he used homophobic slurs, right?

I'd look at Bill Carmody. He's familiar with th B1G and has experience recruiting to an underdog. He'd have a year before the transition to get his program started.

Plus he's a Jersey native

Seems like a good hire to me. Coached in New Jersey, Philadelphia and Washington and is a Rutgers alum. His Princeton-style offense will be a pain in the butt to defend.
