um...if it was just cussing at the players, i'd agree with you. but, an adult employed by a University pushing, shoving, and throwing balls at student-athletes is physical abuse.

The lack of evidence of physical abuse (red marks, bruises, pain, emotional scars) doesn't excuse someone for committing abuse. It is still abuse.


Hell didn't LSU let Pokey go for "messing" with students. Hell that was "love". What do people think would happen to a guy assaulting their athletes, calling them gay slurs, etc.

i had a hard coach so being tough doesnt bother me. This dude just went over the top. These guys arent professionals. I cant believe people are arguing the other side

Educators should be held to a higher standard. Grabbing a kid by the arm is one thing but when you start throwing the ball at their head that crosses the line. If someone did that to you, you'd want to knock them the hell out. But of course those kids can't do anything for fear of losing their scholarship. Rice had to go, and it should have happened months ago.
