Current and former athletes: What should MIKE RICE'S PUNISHMENT be?

[TheCentaur]

If you have played athletics you have probably encountered asshole coaches like this guy.

I say make him run suicides while simultaneously being pelted with basketballs until he pukes. 4 times a week for a year. We are tough on him because we care so much.

What's surprising Cen is that we all know he probably never coached or acted like that before in his career. Why did he start acting this way? Something going on in his personal life... you just don't start throwing basketballs at your kids like that. It's unreal. Does he owe someone money? Having an affair? Wife cheating on him? Guy just went all mad on his players... weird.

I wouldn't say all my coaches were like this, but the video is not shocking to me or you probably.

Rice is done. Got fired Today.

That's not enough. He'll just take it out on the private middle school basketball team he coaches next. He needs to be taught a lesson.

Maybe so. But one thing for sure- His financial future in coaching does not look as good today.

I think being fired and publically humiliated isn't bad. He comes across as an insecure cokksucker that would rather use intimidation as a way to mask his poor coaching skills than coach these kids up the right way. Not at all atypical for HS and collegiate level coaches.

[daneblazer]

He messed up with the gay slurs. Media going to have a field day now. At least the final 4 will take some heat off of the story this weekend.

[The Kraken]

Ya, I agree Dane. That no doubt played a large role.

[Grits n' Gravy]

We had an AAU coach who tried to get too physical and he ended up getting stomped the fuk out. Plenty of coaches push but Rice went overboard. Bet he is violent at home as well.

[PaperTrail07]

Cen...not shocking to me ONE bit...but I agree..not ALLLL were like that....but it was not uncommon

Did Bobby Knight throw basketballs at his players?

Nah just chairs

Nah just chairs

If you think about it... a chair isn't really that bad.

[pavyracer]

No punishment. Bobby Knight got away with this behavior for many years.

It's not about the team

It's about them

Rice should coach Obama
