If I recall correctly, either he messed up in a class, or duke messed up on his transcripts, and he needed to go back to his community college and take a math class, but didnt. i also seem to remember talk of him struggling in pickup games and being homesick. not sure if any or all of those were the real reasons, but those were the rumors.
he ended up being a very good evaluation by nate, and a pretty big miss on the court. he might've won us 3-5 more games the last couple years, imo.
SeanMayTriedToEatMe said:The Rutgers AD and one of the assistant coaches are out as well.
Rutgers University Athletic Director Tim Pernetti has resigned in the wake of a player abuse scandal that prompted the school to fire its men's basketball coach earlier this week.
In a resignation letter to the school's president released Friday, Pernetti said that his "continued tenure as athletic director is no longer sustainable for the university."
Pernetti had come under fire for not initially taking more serious disciplinary action against coach Mike Rice, who was fired Friday after ESPN aired a video that showed him shoving and berating players.
In his letter, Pernetti wrote that his "first instincts" after seeing the video last year, months before ESPN aired it, "was to fire him (Rice) immediately."
"However, Rutgers decided to follow a process involving university lawyers, human resources professionals, and outside counsel," Pernetti wrote. "Following review of the independent investigative report, the consensus was that university policy would not justify dismissal.
"I have admitted my role in, and regret for, that decision, and wish that I had the opportunity to go back and override it for the sake of everyone involved."
The video initially had earned Rice a three-game suspension, a $75,000 fine and a ticket to anger management classes.
Rutgers men's assistant basketball coach Jimmy Martelli resigned the same day his boss was fired after ESPN broadcast a lengthy video of players being physically and verbally abused, the university told CNN on Thursday.
Rutgers gave no reason for Martelli's resignation Wednesday.
The outcry over the treatment of the players arose after ESPN on Tuesday showed footage of head coach Mike Rice shoving and berating players.
ESPN reported Thursday that Martelli also was involved, in a handful of instances where he shoved players and at least one instance where he called a player "a f**king fa**ot."
