The Cerroni leaving thing is troublesome....because he is a quality kid from a good coaching family....he got in Wardle's doghouse and never made it out....he didn't seem to be in over his head on the court.....would like to see how this plays out...

The Bross leaving thing is a joke....he's a freakin walk-on....a project.....his parents were meddlesome since the 4th grade.....they were unrealistic in grade school and high school and always cackling and whining about something....nothing was ever good enough or fair....in this case, size doesn't matter....if you can't play, you can't play.....he got a shot at a D1 school.....he is better off at a lower level or just getting a degree....laugh this one off....his parents are text book, clinical, unrealistic, whining interveners....ask anyone who knows Menomonee Falls sports....MU72 agree?????

I hope Wardle can right the ship....

Yeah Eddie, I know the Bross's pretty well. Two softest giants I have ever seen. Not to mention, they have been coddled by the parents. Kids get opportunities because of their size, but there really isn't much talent or potential there. Both of them are very nice, very smart kids. They just don't have the mental makeup or drive in my opinion to be college athletes.

Wasn't Wardle a player here while Rice was an assistant? Maybe he learned some "bad coaching style" as a player here? (Not saying anything physical), as my buddy said, who was an student manager at the time when Rice was here, that was a pretty typical practice back in the day at MU, minus any physical touching/ball throwing. Yelling/language was definitely a part of it.

I was told Cerroni didn't like being a role player and wasn't having fun anymore.

As for Bross - I heard there was an issue a while back, the kid didn't like getting yelled at. Seeing the report say there was never any physical contact makes me believe that what I heard is exactly the case.

Do these people not realize how serious this is? This isn't just complaining about playing time, this is an NCAA investigation. This could ruin the guy. My guess is that the investigation turns up absolutely zilch - nothing. But Wardle has been doing well, and close to getting a shot at a bigger program - on the heels of the Mike Rice thing, this could prevent him from getting a bigger job even though he looks like he is ready for sainthood compared to Rice.

If something real did occur, then yes, it is serious, but I am sick and tired of parents complaining when they are completely clueless.

I heard it was a little deeper than that...nothing physical...

I didn't see this was a NCAA investigation...but the fact that Wardle was left on the job by the school means the administration thinks it is minor to me.

Didn't Rutgers think what Rice did was minor?

Exactly, but you would have thought after Rutgers, the UWGB admin would have put him on paid leave unless they already were very familiar with the issue. If it proves deeper, the administration just opened themselves up to a lambasting.

They did suspend Rice for 3 games without pay and fined him $50,000. I would not say that they thought it was minor. They had the video. They knew what it was. They did not take the proper action at the time, but they definitely thought it was serious.
