Why Doesn't This End Coach K's career? (and Does it blow back on Wojo?)

[GGGG]

Yeah Heisenberg, that isn't really the whole story.  Multiple recruiting violations including an assistant coach telling someone to take the recruits to parties.

(Note that this article never mentions that the wrestling coach contacted the police.  The alleged victim did.)

What K did or didn't know (rumors, never reported, brought forward second-hand from some sort of Kumbaya meeting) can't be compared to PSU where it went on for years, having the so-called foundation, having kids travel with him, etc., etc. - guys in the locker room know what's going on, plus even when the shower-humping was reported, it didn't get to the police, even though it was kids that were at risk. That's why it's so inexcusable.

Actually this is false. In order to be racist, the perpetrator must have some sort of societal power or privilege over the victim. Ergo, it is impossible for people of color to be racist towards white people. Women cannot be sexist towards men. Etc.

Incorrect.  Here's the #1 definition, per the Oxford Dictionary:

Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior

Nothing about power or authority.

He used the ultra progressive version. Which normal people think is ridiculous.

Duke AD defends handling of allegations against Rasheed Sulaimon

http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/03/03/duke-ad-defends-handling-of-allegations-against-rasheed-sulaimon/



Duke athletic director Kevin White defended himself and his department against the suggestion that they mishandled allegations against a former basketball player.

On Monday, the Duke Chronicle, the university's student paper, reported that Rasheed Sulaimon was twice accused of sexually assaulting a student. Neither of the alleged victims went to the Durham Police of Duke's Office of Student Conduct, according to the report.

They did, however, implicate White, head coach Mike Krzyzewski, his coaching staff and a number of other staffers, saying they knew about the accusations as early as March of 2014. Sulaimon was dismissed from the program in late January of this year.

"Any allegation of student misconduct that is brought to the attention of our staff and coaches is immediately referred to the Office of Student Conduct in Student Affairs, which has responsibility for upholding the Duke code of conduct," White said in a statement released by the university today. "The athletics department does not investigate or adjudicate matters of student conduct, and cooperates completely in the process."

"These investigations are conducted thoroughly, in a timely manner, and with great care to respect the privacy and confidentiality of all students involved. Those procedures have been, and continue to be, followed by Coach Mike Krzyzewski and all members of the men's basketball program. Coach Krzyzewski and his staff understand and have fulfilled their responsibilities to the university, its students and the community. As specified by federal law and university policy, all Duke officials, including Coach Krzyzewski, are prohibited from commenting publicly on any specific individual or situation."

Krzyzewski refused to comment on the situation during the ACC teleconference on Monday.

Sulaimon is still a student at the university.

So, when K and the AD heard about the rumors, they followed their protocols and informed their higher ups in a timely fashion.    K is in the clear.

Seems likely everyone in the athletic department is in the clear
