So back in 1987 the 13-year-old ball boy travels with the team to New Orleans for the Final Four. Who does the 13 year old stay with? JB? Sherman Douglas? Does he get his own room?

So JB says he saw the kid lounging on Bernie's bed. Should have he been sitting on a straight-back chair? Should he have been sitting on the floor? Did JB say whether the kid was clothed? Were the sheets mussed up? Depending upon those answers maybe we'd be in a better position to say whether this should have raised suspicions in JB's mind or maybe it was just a 13-year-old kid staying in the Assistant Coach's room during a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join the team as it competed for the National Championship.

I have no idea how this will play out. But I'll reserve judgement until it does play out. If Bernie is found to have done the things his accuser says he did he needs to be fired immediately. If he is found to be guilty of any additional molestations more recently he needs to go to jail. If there was a coverup involving JB then JB needs to be fired. But that frankly doesn't look to be the case based on what we know so far.

This news makes me sick, but aside from the fact that a coach is being accused of sexually abusing a boy the facts as we currently know them are very, very different from the situation at Penn State.
