    Many other quotes from the AD left me puzzled but this one summed it up for me

    In other words, he was hoping to just sweep this one under the rug.

    I actually feel bad for Rice. He was over the top with his coaching, but doesn't deserve what he is getting in the media, IMO. I would write this off as being an "over zealous" coach. Doubt any players are emotionally scared by his coaching.

    How so? Why? All I did was say I was expecting people here to suggest it. I never said I blame Senior. I like Rice. Only analyst/broadcaster to ever be ejected from an NBA game. He's good at doing what he does - he's a character and he's passionate about the team.

    Overzealous?

    That word by definition is about the exact opposite as what he was.

    You can't push, grab, pull kids

    You can't throw balls at kids

    You can't call kids pussies, ***gots, farries, ****s, etc

    Yes you can. Need proof? Rice did it all.

    You just can't do it without potentially having to answer questions and potentially paying the consequences.

    We live in a pussified society these days. Bobby Knight did this shit for years. The AD will cave from all the media pressure. He'll be fired tomorrow.

    Yup. Fuck this shit. These aren't kids either, they are grown men. These coaches help more than they hurt.

    Wah wah wah....go cry to mommie.

    You're confusing bosses with masters.

    Mike Rice Jr is the one that's going to have to deal with it, not me.

    if he can hold out 3-4 days, the internet will have moved on. :MARIS61:

    Too much embarrassment for Rutgers at this point. Jr is gone.

    Was that your lame ass attempt at humor? That my good friend should be proud of this horrible situation his son has put himself in? This is why I call SlyPokerDog the biggest prick on this forum!

    he likely is, but honestly it'll all blow over if he keeps a low profile and no one else runs with it (read: america is easily distracted). if he had a winning record, perhaps he could stay, but probably going to get shitcanned and will end up in a smaller school in 2-3 years then move up again.

    He'll have to be the most perfect coach ever to get that chance.

    he was already suspended, and I'm sure the university was aware of these tapes beforehand, not that they would be released.

    if they fire him now, he should have a good cause of action for breach of contract, at minimum, they'll pay him to go away at full value of his current contract.
