ESPN's Outside the Lines strikes again. It's not like the guy was doing the best job in the world anyway, throw this onto the fire and it's lights out Coach!! Not sure how true but a couple of callers to the ESPN Chicago radio affiliate were saying this was no big secret going back to his days at Chicago State. It pays to do your due diligence on the front-end, rather than having it come out the rear like this.
At least Rutgers did the right thing and didn't allow this to fester for too long.
from ESPN:
Rutgers Scarlet Knights fire coach Mike Rice in wake of video scandal - ESPN New York:
PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- Rutgers fired basketball coach Mike Rice on Wednesday after a videotape aired showing him shoving, grabbing and throwing balls at players and using gay slurs during practice.
The videotape, broadcast Tuesday on ESPN's "Outside the Lines," prompted sharp criticism from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and the head of the New Jersey Assembly called for Rice to be fired.
With mounting criticism on a state and national level, the school relieved Rice of his duties after three largely unsuccessful seasons at the Big East school. There will be a national search to replace him.
