“@StevePoliti: ESPN plans to air that tape of Mike Rice with "abusive language including a gay slur." This will not end well.http://www.nj.com/rutgersbasketball...gers_mike_rice_tape.html#incart_river_default”
Mike Rice Hot Water

- Start date
Fun correctly called this from day 1.
Said this guy was a walking time bomb.

Would be shocked if Rutgers did not know what was on tape. IMO, further embarrassment will push Board, President hand to move him out. The gay slur, if true, will be catalyst. The power brokers will not want to adversely effect fundraising or cause tumultuous publicity. Why bother keeping him? He is not Bob Knight, who had much more value and clout, and was still moved out.
The gay slur will be the end for him. Let's remember, Rutgers had a highly publicized bullying case where a gay student committed suicide.
I am not the least bit surprised this happened. I always thought Rice was crazy. He could make a person's face fall off if you looked into his eyes.
NJ Sate and Rice are a perfect match in my eyes. While Rice is crazy, Rutgers is delusional if they think they will be anything more than an also ran status conference member. Being a state university, they had the benefit of tax dollars. Yet they couldn't do anything worthwhile in the Big East while holding a very sizeable financial advantage over the majority of the schools. Now they are playing against schools with just as much tax dollars -- if not more. Hope they enjoy never sniffing the NCAA's or a bowl game again.
I wonder what unstable individual Rutgers will hire next.

Wow, this coach is done at this level for the foreseeable future. None of these tactics are considered acceptable or appropriate in today's athletics.
Before Jack Kresse coached at st johns he was a gym coach at Christ the King- I was never in his class but I recall those who were saying he would throw basketballs at them. Kresse made his mark in Charleston (I always liked him) and st johns tried to lure him back some yrs ago to coach here so throwing basketballs is not what it is all about. It is about winning and bringing money into the school. If you do, in my opinion, you can throw basketballs, yell, curse and maybe throw out a slur here and there and get a slap on the wrist. If you lose, you get fired.

here is the video:

He's a nut. I know that some people will call Murdoch a snitch, but this is just too insane to turn the other eye on. The AD will be in trouble as well. This is not tolerable at the college level.
I said this before the season, Rice is crazy (I didn't know this crazy). I knew this would be his last season at RU. Either he was going to get the team to play well and he'd take a bigger job, or his antics would get him fired. He actually looks more insane than Bobby Gonzalez.

No joke, but as a player Danny took the pressure of playing way to hard. The experience was no fun for him at all, and that really is sad that he missed out on what was supposed to be a ton of fun. He has done a great job by getting back into whats a hotter fire and handling it so well. I never knew what went on between Gary Waters and the university. Why didn't that work out?
