Rutgers knew about it and only suspended him three games.

[Lhalo]

Seems like a standup guy.

[nate]

After reviewing the tape and hearing that Rutgers only suspended him three games, the SEC has offered Rutgers immediate conference membership.

[St1ck]

Such tremendous leadership he is displaying. 

[RallyMo]

I would imagine he gets canned after this story.

 

This is insane. How did they not fire his ass in the first place?

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Pathetic display. How anybody can believe that this teaches young men basketball skills, discipline and teamwork is beyond me.

[mancini79]

Now that the media is involved, not sure how Rutgers can save this coach's job. The program is also in jeopardy because recruits will pass on Rutgers. 

[Docwaukee]

What a psycho. 

[stevestevens]

He is in the wrong sport.  It seems like his passion is in dodge ball. 

[nate]

He was fired this morning.

[RallyMo]

It's DISGUSTING that they fired him only after that crap made it to ESPN. Seriously. It shows just how hollow they are. Anybody that let this guy stay on after seeing that video should get the heave ho as well.

[sneaky_flute]

this is what happens when someone who couldn't hack it on the court becomes a coach.

[Caralho]

I still hope a player knocks his ass out.

That's silly.

Yeah.  The AD and President both knew about it and they just doled out a 3 game suspension.  In their release they said "new information" which is bullshit, guess they can't admit that he was fired because the media found out.

[LBHalos17]

Disgraceful for Rutgers admin, and who in their right mind would play for this psycho?!  I'd rather play at a Community College and have fun.  I'm surprised the players didn't unite against it.
