Rutgers’ Mike Rice Still Coaching…12-Year-Old Girls
Since being fired from Rutgers for verbally and physically abusing his players, Mike Rice has kept busy coaching his daughter’s AAU team of 12-year-old girls. Brian Geltzeiler, a basketball blogger, had the report:
One of my moles is watching Mike Rice coach 12 year old girls at Holmdel High in NJ right now as crazy as ever yelling @ both refs and kids

Just this afternoon Rice told a 12 year old girl,”I can’t even look at you” and the ref told my guy he would have T’d him up 2x if it was HS

Just to clarify.I’m not joking.Mike Rice is actually coaching a 7th grade girls AAU team today and he’s still acting like a mad man….

@krvanch @hoopscritic – I was there and can verify it’s true. He was a lunatic yesterday at Stone Bridge Middle School as well.

SNY TV confirmed that Rice was indeed coaching the team, and has been doing so in the three years he’s been at Rutgers. An unnamed source “close to the team” said the “report is a gross misrepresentation of the facts,” and that “the team’s parents are fully behind Coach Rice and his instruction of their daughters.”
