Message: [QUOTE="Muttsy, post: 97590, member: 960"] Q: Did you ever hear anything weird, an inkling about Bernie Fine over all these years? Waters: Before 2002, nothing. After 2002, yeah, there were rumors. I didn't want to talk about it too much with too many people, because there was still some possibility at some point that we'd catch a break in this, so we didn't want to let the cat out of the bag. We never saw anything. Never saw any little kids, anything that looked strange. Never spoke to Bernie Fine or Boeheim about this topic. We left that up to the reporters pursuing the topic. I didn't want to let Boheim know what I knew. Q: How would you assess the case against Bernie Fine Waters: In the court of public opinion he's as guilty as the day is long. If eventually this gets to a court of law, this is very much up in the air. The prosecuting attorney is still looking for the last bits of evidence hta the needs Q: Is Boeheim in any trouble? Waters: Personally, I think he's in the clear. I know peoplea re clamoring for his dismissal. But they're misinterpreting events, and they're transposing some of the stuff he said vs. Paterno, and I think eh's kind of getting swept up in that. BUt I just don't think you fire a guy for coming to the defense of someone he's known for 50 years and stepping over a line, especially when he quickly backgracked. Q: He had to be stunned at what's happened in the last couple days. WatersL Absolutely. Absolutely. He's got to be wondering about the man that worked down the hall for all those years. And especially he's gotta be wondering, Bernie why didn't you come down the hall and tell me the truth so I woudln't have stick my neck out for you like that. Q: Using deductive reasoning, you wouldn't come out that strong and be that vulnerable if you thought in any way shape or form that Bernie was guilty. I think that's the best evidence Boeheim didn't know about it. Waters: I agree. I think that's good deductive reasoning. Waters: Lead investigators in case are now US Atty and Secret Service.
