Apparently, some at Rutgers felt the same way as you and gave him a break and let him coach in…Read More peace.
As it turns out, he didn't deserve a break and he definitely does not coach in peace.

I don't know the guy, and as the old saying goes "I don't got a dog in this fight." but do…Read More you really think that a man who has been shown to be a physically and abusive coach in two college coaching gigs can suddenly calm himself on the sidelines of an AAU basketball game? If any of you have been to any youth sporting event, especially the highly competitive traveling sports programs (baseball, basketball, soccer) you've seen this behavior from other coaches, most of them parents of a player on the team. Their conduct on the sideline, and treatment of players, referees and fans is outrageous, but parents tolerate it for a number of reasons - they don't want their kids playing time diminished, the coach is a "winner", etc.
So, you're right, I haven't seen him do it at an AAU game, but I did see him coach at Rutgers and it was embarrassing. And when his "suspension" was first announced in November, my daughter (a Rutgers grad who I went to the game with) and I were not surprised. And when I heard what really was happening in practices, again, we weren't surprised. So, I read this story and hear about the the rumors, and I am not surprised. And I should be surprised that the parents tolerate this type of behavior from someone who is supposed to coach and mentor their child, but ultimately, I am not.

Service, when I spoke to his coach he specifically told me that he is great student as well.

I find it disturbing the Coach Rice thought it was ok to treat his team this way..After the first…Read More time he put his hands on someone you think he would say to himself "WTF".. He saw nothing wrong coaching this way. Why did he think it was ok to coach this way? This coaching style was no accident. Why did it take this Video to get him fired? That's the Million Dollar Question

Judy, I agree a lot of people made some very stupid decisions, especially the parent. However, my…Read More point is that the whole thing never would have happened if the runner hadn't tried to flatten the catcher. I wasn't there so I can't speak to all the stories flying around about the brawl but I do know that an umpire doesn't eject a player for "accidentally" bumping into the catcher. The umpire ejects a player for a flagrant and dangerous act of un-sportsman like conduct. Hopefully the player will understand that his act was the flash point for everything that happened afterward. FYI all of my kids went to RBR and I think it is an exceptional school. It grieves me to see it suffer such bad press due to the actions of a few.

The perpetrators of the Massachusetts crime against humanity should be punished with the maximum…Read More penalty. Among the top suspects are Nazi and Neo-Confederate groups. The Southern Poverty Law Center has been tracking these groups for years. One of the Nazi racist skinhead groups is the Aryan Terror Brigade. They are organized in a number of states, among them Massachusetts and here in New Jersey. The Aryan Terror Brigade should be closely watched. If you know anything about them, contact your local law enforcement agency.

to beachchairgirl, Abe and Megan.... Human brain cannot make sense out of an irrational situation…Read More such as this .The thanking of God will create a support that will strengthen the reserve.. and allow the brain to function in defense of that which it cannot explain..The mind of man is certainly opposed to any irrational attack...thus the resolve that the FAITHFUL have allows the body to continue....THANK GOD!

Someone should make him take the "Rutgers Safety Course" that pretty much any youth sports…Read More coach today has to take. The videos they use and show you there as examples of what not to do as a youth coach are mild compared to his style of coaching. Why do the rest of us volunteer coaches have to take these courses if guys Luke him are allowed to participate? Plenty of good coaches on ALL different levels get alot of positive results/wins without acting like an idiot. Sounds like he needs to be drug tested. Something not right with him bringing this to youth sports too.

This 12 yr old girls AAU is a high level competition team? Really??? No wonder so many kids today…Read More are getting burned out and don't even want to play "their sport" at the college level. I guess he's getting them ready for Rutgers.. Oh that's right... they don't approve of his methods anymore.
