The controversial practice tape that resulted in a three-game suspension and $50,000 fine for Rutgers men's basketball coach Mike Rice in December is about to put Rice and his program back in the spotlight again. The Star-Ledger has learned that ESPN's "Outside the Lines" program will air the tape Tuesday afternoon.


quote:

Four individuals with direct knowledge of the tape and its exact contents — profane and abusive language, including a gay slur, and throwing basketballs at players' heads — confirmed the network's plans to broadcast it this weekend, in between the Final Four and the NCAA's national championship game. The individuals requested anonymity because they do not speak for the network.

I just saw the video on ESPN. The shite is pretty crazy.

Hmm. He was at Robert Morris before Andy Toole, the guy that beat Kentucky this year in the NIT.

The tape surfaced after former director of player development Eric Murdock did not have his contract renewed a year ago.

"We didn't produce this tape," Pernetti said. "This tape was produced by Eric Murdock's attorneys. This is, as far as we understand, the tape in ESPN's possession right now."
Trying to use the tape as leverage in wrongful discharge lawsuit.

Throwing basketballs at a player's head, at point-blank range, is not a problem with you?

Remember my high school basketball coach telling a player "If I had a knife right now I would slit your throat"

yeah, Rutgers need to just go ahead and fire Rice and the Athletic Director. There's zero way he should have viewed those tapes and let Rice keep his job.

Your coach threw a basketball at your head?

That's the one problem I have an issue with.

Will RU ever get some local guy to stay all 4 years and bring a NCAA team to the RSC? Get one of Hurley boys in a few years?
