ESPN OTL: Mike Rice Berates and "Assaults" Players at Rutgers
- Thread starter Ldlane

Thanks for the post. I just saw the video on NBC Sports. That guy is a nut case! Why should a coach get away with stuff that would be considered a crime elsewhere? He needs to be history.
3 game suspension is all he got for abusing these players. If a parent was caught doing this to there teenager they'd be in jail but, all he got was 3 games.
The Rutgers AD needs to be fired for not protecting his athletes from an abusive thug and Rice should be arrested. IMO, this is almost as bad as the Penn St. case; it may not be sexual assault but it is assault, and another an administration that protected the coach more then the victims.

coaching is about motivating players to make themselves better and develop chemistry with the team. kinda hard for me to see how he was achieving this. ima just call it like i see it and say he is a terrible coach. don't know how he keeps his job after this, wasn't like he was winning games anyway. plus, bbball seems to have a ton of coaches on the smaller levels who know what the are doing.
Not going to get political in this thread. Just posting what New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said on the subject. Indicates Rice and the AD will be gone.
Last night on the news, the anchor showed the clip and said ESPN talked to 6 or 8 current/former players of Rice that said they didn't have a problem with his ways. That amazes me.
And the AD is about to receive "AD of the Year" from the Big East! I would shut that program down and release all of the scholarship players if I were the Prez. or NCAA.
Oh, it was worth firing before and the AD knew it, they just tried to bury it and got caught.
Remember the SNL skit with Peyton Manning playing ball at a United Way camp?LSUFreek!
Even funnier tweet:
@NotBillWalton2h
Bama coach Mike Price got fired for a strip club visit. Vikings coach Mike Tice got fired for ticket scalping. Now Mike Rice. See a pattern?
Thought about that skit when I saw the gif earlier.
I think their statement cited additional evidence just come to light. I guess we'll get to see if that's true...
I agree. Behavior, I think, is learned! Who is he emulating? Did he play college basketball? If so, for what coach? I'm surprised that the players did not retaliate in kind. He sure deserved it. Was there a role model out there for him? Was it Bobby Knight? Bobby Knight may have been tough but not abusive or assaultive toward his players. So, who did he learn this from? Was his father a coach? Was his high school coach like this? I'm just surprised it took 3 years for him to be found out for what he really is. Would you want your son playing for this BULLY?
Looks like he physically and verbally assaulted his players! Can't coaches like him motivate players to perform to the best of their abilities and beyond what even they ever thought they could accomplish.
Penn State and Rutgers! Who's next to get outed for doing things (dirty laundry) that should never be done! Will it be the Barn? Just askin'.
