Rutgers BBall Coach Abusing Players in Practice Video

http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/ ... rs-players
anyone see this yet? i love intense coaches but this just totally crosses the line. throwing balls at players, shoving them, personal insults including using a player's ethnicity against him. how the AD didn't fire him when 1st seeing this video is crazy. No way Rice survives this. The AD should be fired too.

The AD is next. Coverups are always bad. The video or audio will ALWAYS get out.

having worked in division 1 athletics for 7 years at 2 different schools, i can attest that this is pretty common. not to this extent, but schools are willing to overlook a lot to have a winning program.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
I think Penn State proved that.
so did indiana with bobby knight. he got away with that stuff for years.
in my experence of being part of the medical staff i can say that the basketball coaches were always the worst with regard to what you can call abuse. mostly verbal and mental, but yeah, they can be pretty bad. any time you have practices that are closed to the public, coaches can do whatever they want to whomever they want.

Fucking sports coaches they all think they are untouchable ....
I can't believe there are people defending his actions and saying that they've been through rougher coaches and implying that athletes now are too soft.
As legendarily hard as Bobby Knight was, I've never heard of him or his protoges taking things to the extreme that this guy did. If he was, how many other coaches are there out there that deserve what Rice got?
Far as Eric Murdock, I think his lawsuit has a sour grapes quality to it. Not saying he was wrong to do anything he did, but he wasn't fired like he's implied.If I was him I'd be glad to be outta that mess.
I don't have any problems with coaches cursing at players but as anything it depends on the curses used and in what context. i had coaches in grade school and high school especially curse and it wasn't even remotely a big deal. Some of the context of Rice's curses as seen on the tape are just wrong though.
and Bobby Knight was on shown tape with a hand around a player's neck which was part of what was used to start the zero tolerance policy which led to his ouster at IU.
Murdock wanted a $1 million dollar settlement after he was fired not to show the tapes. Rutgers offered him $200k. So he's kind of a dick too.
I remember that for sure, and he has a long list of bogus behavior, but I've never heard of Knight making racial slurs or calling 10 year olds faggots.
