Remember when some folks out here got pissed when we took Pitino over him? To be fair, he's not currently guilty of anything. Also with a different administration you never know how things turn out. Also, I didn't want him to be our Head Coach lol

When I heard neighbors say that when it rains, it pours, I thought they were talking about the weather. Shows what I know.

Bryant admin indicating it’s not related to a personal or family medical situation.

Bryant admin indicating it’s not related to a personal or family medical situation. Yeah, that article states it was Bryant's decision to place him on a leave of absence, and quite possibly be fired

In today environment, 99% of these "investigations" are actually nothing more than and ass covering effort by the schools legal counsel. The school has their attorney bring in an outside law firm that is there to protect the school. The school claims that there was an unbiased investigation when in reality they already know they are going to terminate the employee in question. They then try and limit the schools liability to the accuser and to the employee. While I have no idea what Jared has been accused of, if this is related to abusive behavior in any way, he is as good as gone. Things do not look good for him unless he has a guardian angel or two on Bryant's board of trustees. I hope their AD Bill Smith, who hired Grasso, has his back as he can help Jared navigate this issue as he is also an attorney. Hopefully, if Jared is innocent, Smith can at least be a voice for Jared behind the closed doors of the board of trustees meeting.
Whatever people think of Grasso, remember he is part of the Cluess era and he has a family to feed. Say some prayers for him and the family and that a solution is reached that is best for all parties.

Reading this thread… was attendance actually that poor under Cluess? Cluess sat Taj Ridley for a very important game against Fairfield because he missed a class. Don't buy into Pitino's nonsense as he claims he built everything good yet always tip toes away from all the allegations that were under his area of control, as he blames everyone else. If Pitino had half of TC's integrity and class he would never have gotten into the trouble he always seems to find.

We know players complained about things going on in the locker room so karma is a bitch if you didn't look out for all kids on your team but just the starters

We know players complained about things going on in the locker room so karma is a bitch if you didn't look out for all kids on your team but just the starters Right now we do not know all of the particulars. Where are you seeing that players complained in the locker room? I would find it very hard to believe he was openly abusive to players and that it did not come to bite him on the recruiting trail if such abuse was well known. He has also seemed to maintain close relationships with many of the Iona players long after the left campus. If you have info that we may not be privy to, let her rip as I am always open to hearing additional info that might change my mind. But yes, I believe in praying for a sinner. I think they need prayer more than a righteous man would. I also pray that the truth is fully discovered as I would not want to see a guilty man walk free, nor an innocent man be found guilty. If he is truly guilty then he would need to fix those things to find salvation but there are innocents that are impacted by this beyond just the accuser (victim)... as he has kids and a wife. I also never said to pray that he slides on this, I said "Say some prayers for him and the family and that a solution is reached that is best for all parties." That also includes his accuser. Also, Jared was not my pick for taking over Iona. Not because he was abusive, because I had serious doubts about his ability to manage a game. That is why I have brought up Tobin for every MAAC opening or any opening in the metro area since 2018. I also say prayers for all of the Iona community and specifically our board members. I am sure a few of you have sinned over the years as none of us is perfect.

I thought it was reported there were problems in his locker rooms, peter kiss as an example and nothing was done.
