    I actually would expect Rutgers to face some kind of legal action over this (moreso than Rice himself).

    People like Rice should not be made coaches, and the fact that the administration let it continue for so long is appalling.

    Wonder if Rice had a similar MO when he was head coach at Robert Morris. He was a lot more successful there than at Rutgers. Maybe the pressure to win and $$$'s got into his head. You would think his reputation would have preceded him before he signed on with Rutgers.

    What's your point? He hasn't been a head coach that long and I don't know if he was even doing this at Robert Morris. So what you pasted backs me up.

    His years as an assistant are irrelevant.

    You say over the years like he's been a head coach for 30 years and no one ever said anything. He started at Rutgers 2.5 years ago.

    never said or inferred anything

    guess you're gonna read into a simple post what you want

    Nothing I pasted backs you up. What are you reading? Guy has been a head coach for a number of years at two different places. This video itself is from a while back. ESPN decided it was a slow news day so they posted it now.

    STILL NO LAWSUITS

    get it yet?

    Family goes into a lawyers office......This coach has been throwing balls at various players nutz for 6 or 7 years. Lawyer can't take the case saying it hasn't been 30.

    Thank you for proving you lack reading comprehension.

    You say "One of these men, or parents of them, over the years would have gone legal seeing as they could have used the money/notoriety"

    I point out that he hasn't been a HC that long.

    You reply by proving what I said by copying and pasting from Wikipedia.

    get it yet? He was hired less than 3 years ago to coach at Rutgers.

    So yeah, he could easily face a lawsuit. They take time to put together.

    This coach should have his hands tied behind his back and punched in the balls repeatedly for 15 minutes by Iron Mike Tyson.

    Yeah I gotta agree... You guys that say "it happened to me, so what" don't understand the point. If it happened to you, you had a shitty coach. That isn't the norm. Verbal abuse is a part of the job, but physical abuse isn't.

    When I decided to pledge a fraternity (no gay demeaning shit like eating throw-up, fish, etc, just basically boot camp hell every night) I SIGNED UP FOR IT.... You don't sign up for a sports team expecting to get balls thrown at your head. There is no coaching books that state it as a sound technique to get the most out of your players. It's just the product of a coach with anger issues. He was fired, albeit later than he should have been, but in the end, he deserved to get fired.

    But I also really don't see any legal action taking place against the school or coach, because it wasn't extreme abuse... Sure it created a hostile environment, but it wasn't like he took players aside and beat them bloody. But then again, if lawyers do step in they'll be sure to amplify the situation to fit their case, so you never really know.

    those players are so sad and demoralized that they will all end up like Jenny from forest gump. empty souls. I wonder how many players transferred from Rutgers during Rice's time there. I will bet more will transfer out now that he is gone. How ironic? Like an abused and battered wife.

    Murdock doesn't look too good in this situation either, he only released the video after he found out he wasn't going to keep his job. He'd been trying to blackmail Rutgers and it didn't work so he put the video out.

    Might wanna back off a bit with the pitch forks and torches. Some players saying it wasn't as bad or as often as the vid depicts. Also this went on in front of recruits. Meaning, some players knew what was coming if they went to Rutgers.

    If the only incidents that happened are the ones in that video that's enough for me. He should have been fired months ago.

    Still find it shocking that anyone defends this toolbag for ANY reason. Could care less about the tongue lashings. That isn't even an issue. I was shocked to learn today that several fox types think it's ok to be violent when it's not necessary and it's the 'pussification of 'merica' in Rice being fired. The only pussies in this debate are the people saying it happened to them and thinking it's ok. Shit like that penetrates people mentally. It ain't ok. Rice is pathetic and deserves whatever he gets - his defenders are even more pathetic.

    I had a high school coach who acted like that. Total nutcase. He even spit on me after a particularly bad game. Took all the fun out of the sport.

    had this coach in high school who used to get in everyone's face, right up in your face, and yell slowly "DO . . .YOU . . . WANT . . .IT? DO YOU?"

    he was tough and we liked him ok but we used to make fun of that shit all the time behind his back didn't fukking throw balls at us and kick us though, that's crazy.

    Tony Dungy won a Super Bowl.....never cursed or raised his voice. So, I don't wanna hear that you must coach like a jackass to get your point across.
