Article says Buzz knew no knowledge of the investigation and Monarch was not being forthright on multiple occasions.  I side with LW on the Monarch firing.  I'm not sure if Buzz knew nothing of it, why he has to be suspended a Big East game.

Don't worry, Whalen's on the case.

That's what happens. The boss who picks and controls his employees gets punished when his employees do wrong. I'm fine with the 1 game suspension. Nothing drastic but sends a message.

Wonder what "outside law firm"?

How many times has Buzz said, "Wish I would have taken SMU", over the past few weeks?

None because that's a crap job.

MU fires assistant men's basketball coach over rules violations
               



Marquette University head basketball coach Buzz Williams said Friday that Scott Monarch, one of his top assistants, had been dismissed after an investigation determined Monarch had been untruthful with department administrators after they learned he had committed violations involving a recruit.

did you even read the article - minor violations but Monarch lied repeatedly about it...  


Buzz says...

When I was allowed to review the report earlier this week, I was deeply saddened to learn of an error in judgment of one of my assistants and closest friends," Buzz Williams said in a statement. "I take personal responsibility for what happens in this program and realize we must be role models to both our team and the entire University. Our commitment has always been and will always be to operate this program at the highest level of integrity in the Marquette and Jesuit tradition."

Seems like a bit of an overreaction for a supposed free t shirt though. Can we assume this was something a bit more serious?

I doubt it since the story says:

"If Monarch had been truthful, he'd almost certainly still have a job," one source close to the program told CBSSports.com. "These were minor things."

Monarch gave a Marquette recruit apparel and also drove him home, which have been deemed as secondary violations. The Golden Eagles were also hit with the loss of an official visit due to the violations.

Huggs said the same thing when his assitant was helping his athletes cheat on tests.........................................................................................

hopefully not the Nunn visit...

[MUDPT]

Did MU determine that they lost an official visit or was that the NCAA?

[Knight Commission]

Why werent these secondary violations reported? Gotta love MU on Friday Nights

[Bocephys]

All MU apparently.

[Jay Bee]

Buzz cut for a better assistant? 

[Tugg Speedman]

My guess (and I'm making this up) ... Monarch gave Duane Wilson some MU gear and drove him home.  All minor violations.  Then he lied repeatedly about it.

It's not the crime but the attempt to cover it up.
