Allegedly, former MU Assistant (now Albany HC) Killings struck Luke Fizulich, an MU transfer. He is under investigation. Doesn't look good.

How could someone be so dumb?
In your first year on a dream career path. If found to be true he'll probably never get another opportunity.
Just senseless. I guess we will wait and see.

The implication in the article is that the "investigation" is in it's early stages. How the hell important could this be in the first place if it takes 4+ months to move on it??
-
I got to know Killings a bit while he was in MILW. Really good guy, and pretty mild mannered.
I hope it’s not true. And, it’s very odd to be starting an investigation of something that allegedly happened 4 months ago..
-
BTW, A+ for thread title. Assumed Dahmer v2.0 was on campus.

The timing/delay is odd. You wonder if Fizulich only brought it up to the admin when he announced he was transferring? Or, it could be a case of the admin knowing about it for 4 months, but only now launching an investigation because they're looking to move on from Killings, for free, after a sub-par season.
Also odd that it was Fizulich. Clearly he had a pretty good relationship with Killings, enough so that he was willing to walk on at two schools just to be around him.

Given the topic heading ...
I am simply relieved this was not about some multiple murder investigation
PS
sorry rocky we were typing the same thoughts at the same time

It's not uncommon for students to sit on things like this for awhile. Assuming the allegation is true (not saying it is, just giving an explanation for why there may be a delay if its true), my guess would be that Fizluch didn't feel comfortable accusing his coach and feared that it would result in retaliation. Now that he's transferring, Killings can't retaliate (or at least not as easily) so Fizluch feels safe coming forward.
That being said, depending on the facts of the case and the specific allegation, university investigations can easily go 4+ months. Hell, I've worked on investigations that took 2+ years

Add that "Killings claims it was accidental" - and unless a couple other teammates witnessed that there was intent and decide to speak out, it could take a while. None of the athletes have spoken publicly about it so far. So, who knows...
-
Yeah and I don't think they are simply trying to get out from under his contract. He had a mediocre season no doubt, but unless something else has happened, it wasn't a dumpster fire.
-
And here we thought Marquette was the only campus where Killings and assaults took place!

Doc Dribble woulda started that thread.

Maybe Killings mistook him for a whiteboard

Killings has been reinstated. Smart for the school to investigate and glad it was apparently a mistake and isolated.

The University at Albany says it has concluded its investigation after the school received a complaint against head men’s basketball coach Dwayne Killings.
A UAlbany investigation concluded there was “inappropriate physical contact between Coach Killings and a student-athlete during a pre-game hype circle immediately prior to a road game on November 24, 2021, and that the incident was never reported to administration,” according to a statement released by the school on Saturday.
UAlbany says that the incident was isolated, and that Killings has acknowledged it, apologized and expressed regret.

So, the pre-game slaps of five got a little out of hand?

Knowing that it was a pregame hype circle and not a practice adds a little more color for sure. Kudos to Albany for the process. Everyone can learn and move on.
Ts and Ps for that radio host who was all so certain

Which radio host?

“ inappropriate contact “ … in the
Pre game hype circle?? Huh ?
Based on that it was obviously not a punch/ hit … so ?
Glad it’s resolved. I’ve met DK multiple times. He’s pretty mild mannered. I hope he turns their program around
-
I'm glad for DK that this was resolved in this way, and I wish him great success going forward.

I've always wondered what would happen if a player reported a coach for smacking them on the a$$ to Title IX. By the letter of the law, if the coach didn't have the player's consent, that's sexual assault. Maybe we just found out.

You've mentioned this at least once before (the good old athlete ass slap). I have a feeling the circumstances don't line up 100% (or even 80%), but nonetheless, I think coaches are understanding that you have to appreciate the situation. Unless of course, you're a hall of fame coach, or better at covering your tracks than killings was.

The other time wasn't the athlete ass slap. It was reporting Davison for groping Joey Hauser.

Sure there's this one:

But I swear you theorized / fantasized about the the ass slap one time 8-)
I'm probably wrong.

It's certainly possible though the one you quoted is the only one I remember.

Just to be fair, this is one of the top MUScoop results for "ass slap". And oldy but, oddity

I’m confused, too. WTH went on. I can’t imagine a 25k fine, suspension and public apology for an ass slap. Weird.

*baseless speculation* - He probably gave Luke a hyped up chest punch - and it wasn't received in the way it was intended.

As it it was enough to make Luke transfer, and have Albany suspend their coach for 5 games and fine him

Ban hype circles. Make them parallelograms and call them a rumpus rhombus
