IlliniKrush Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Ridiculous. But the only thing he did wrong was "trust his player." Those could have all been false accusations. Get the f*** out. He did everything he could to protect his star basketball player. There's no way to defend him at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Reporter Daniel Libit of ChicagoSideSports.com spoke with Pierce, 29, on Friday to get his take on Alford’s public apology. “I don’t have an issue with anything he had to say,” Pierce said. “He has always been in my corner since he recruited me, so I have nothing—you will never find me saying anything about coach.” According to Libit’s story, Alford and Pierce still speak occasionally. Pierce called to congratulate Alford after he accepted the UCLA job. “I heard the news when I was in France still and the first thing I did was give him a call and congratulate him,” Pierce said. “We still speak form time to time.” Last week, Iowa City Press-Citizen sports columnist Pat Harty wrote a column alleging that Pierce once attempted to assault Harty’s niece, when she was a freshman at Iowa. Libit read Pierce a portion of Harty’s column where he laid out the details of the accusation. My niece was an 18-year-old freshman at the University of Iowa, who had met Pierce on campus completely by chance. He showed up in her dorm room one afternoon that same fall — unannounced and uninvited — closed the door and refused to leave. I hate to think what might have happened to this bright, beautiful girl had her screams not scared him away. “I wish Pat Harty nothing but the best, but I can’t respond to everyone’s allegations or false allegations,” Pierce said. “I have moved on from my past. I am not calling it anything. If he wants to say anything about me, he can say it, and do with it what he wants to. At this point, I have moved on from Iowa, the writers, I have moved on from them all—far from them.” Pierce went on to say that Harty’s allegations “couldn’t be more false.” http://www.hawkcentral.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball...exico-lobos-say A University of New Mexico official says former Lobos basketball coach Steve Alford is willing to pay a $200,000 buyout for leaving the Albuquerque school to take a job at UCLA but he won't pay the $1 million payment that New Mexico wants. According to the Albuquerque Journal, an email written by a university lawyer says Alford is offering to comply with terms of his previous contract with New Mexico. Alford on March 18 signed a term sheet agreeing to a new 10-year contract with New Mexico that included a $1 million buyout. It was to take effect April 1, two days after Alford announced his resignation. New Mexico contends it's owed the $1 million buyout because the previous contract required a 30-day notice of termination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
