Besides the fact that their basketball program sucks, they are losing players and coaches, etc. How hard is it going ot be now for them to hire coach to work under an AD that caved to the public? I realze he did it to save his own job, however that still says something to prospective coaches. First the AD tried to rehabilitate the HC, then when the issues were baout to come public, he released them himself and then turn around and said he made a mistake and fired the HC? There has been nothing said on how Rice has behaved since his suspension and fine and whether the anger management has been working. My understanding is this all occurred before the anger management order...for all we know it may been effective and Rice may been making some serious life changes (not trying to defend him, just trying to look at this from a different angle/perception). So now, you possibly have someone who is trying to change himself for the better after being called out on the carpet and being told you do this, this and this and you can continue to coach, then when the public comes in you cave instead of having a backbone and defending said person, to me that says something about the AD and that program and makes wonder if other prospective coaches see that as well?
