He got fired because he was an idiot.
Had any coach ever thrown something at my head as he did, rest assured he would not have needed to be fired..........
ESPN has been playing the video over and over. Not once did I see a ball being thrown at someones head. I saw a couple being thrown at some feet but none at the head.
thank you! he is an ass... lacking in self-control... when i was a kid i had a coach for several years who i thought was "mean." and she was... she was scary... but i stayed on her team, because she also knew what she was doing, and we won championships... but she never laid her hands on us, or threw things at us... and she didn't call us belitting names... but hell, i did not want to be on her bad sad during practices... and no one ever wanted to show up late... i learned a lot from her...
Mike Rice behaved like a grown man in a bratty child's body... throwing tantrums... gosh--what a baby...
Thank you. It’s nice to read some sane comments on a thread otherwise devoted to ignorance.
