Podcast appearances and mentions of rick court

In 1986, Maryland lost one of its most legendary athletes after Len Bias passed away two days following his No. 2 selection by the Boston Celtics. It was an incident the university vowed would never happen again. Yet 32 years later, offensive lineman Jordan McNair died following an offseason football workout. Tragedy struck again. While both athletes died due to different circumstances, the fallout effects from both incidents were similar. This week, we examine the long-term impact of both situations. The death of Bias resulted in two separate task forces — Dorfman's investigation into academics and one on drug use throughout campus. The recommendations made by the task forces hampered the Terps' ability to recruit high-level athletes, with a decreased athletic budget and focus towards promoting academics. Fan attendance dipped along with the Terps' playing performance. McNair's death resulted in a $3.5 million settlement with McNair's family, as well as a separate settlement with two football players for $200k each. The Terps also lost money in ticket sales and resulted in the firings of multiple athletic staff members, including head coach DJ Durkin, strength coach Rick Court and other training staff members.

All rise. The sports court of public opinion we call Foul Play-by-Play is now in session, the dishonorable Anthony Varriano presiding over this podcast providing play-by-play and color commentary on foul play in sports, on courts and in them. The attorney of record and my co-host is Michael Haase of McLarty and Haase Law in Glendive, Montana. Headlines Headline 1: Maryland Football Player Dies of Heat Exhaustion; Wrongful Death Lawsuit Likely Coming Against University After 19-year-old Maryland offensive lineman Jordan McNair died of apparent heat stroke from performing 110-yard sprints according to ESPN, the university placed head coach D.J. Durkin, strength and conditioning coach Rick Court and some trainers on leave while it investigates whether the staff was negligent. The McNair’s have also hired an attorney, who says a lawsuit is likely and Durkin should be fired. ESPN conducted its own investigation, speaking to two current Maryland football players, former players and football staffers and multiple people close to the program. Here’s what they shared about the football culture under Durkin and Court: There is a coaching environment based on fear and intimidation. Small weights and other objects were thrown by Court in the direction of players when Court was angry. The belittling, humiliation and embarrassment of players is common. A player whom coaches wanted to lose weight was forced to eat candy bars while watching teammates work out. Extreme verbal abuse of players occurs often. One player was belittled verbally after passing out during a drill. Coaches have endorsed unhealthy eating habits and used food punitively. One player said he was forced to eat until he threw up. Durkin and Court’s coaching careers are certainly in jeopardy, but couldn’t they be charged with manslaughter at the very least, or is this just a wrongful death civil lawsuit? Headline 2: UNC Suspends 13 Football Players for Selling Shoes Thirteen North Carolina football players, including quarterback Chazz Surratt, were suspended between one and four games for selling school-issued shoes. The selling of the special edition Nike Jordan shoes is a secondary NCAA violation, and UNC self-reported the violation in January. Since these shoes are uniquely manufactured for and distributed solely to UNC athletes, their rareness by His Airness can fetch upwards of $600 on Ebay, according to Joe Giglio. In college (even now), there is no doubt I would resell my free shoes for $650 . Note the screen shot of the shoes listed on eBay pic.twitter.com/m8q5kmPEIj — Joe Giglio (@jwgiglio) August 6, 2018 Meanwhile, the NCAA changed rules to allow “elite” high school basketball prospects to hire agents and undergraduates to return to school if they enter the NBA Draft and aren’t selected. How hypocritical is it that a college basketball player can now hire an agent but not profit from his name, signature or shoes until he signs a contract and doesn’t need the money anymore? These benefits for attending UNC don’t seem very beneficial. The NCAA has managed to make a benefit a burden. It’s often said possession is nine-tenths of the law. Well, what kind of possession is this if you can’t sell what you possess? Headline 3: Former All-Star MLB Pitcher Esteban Loaiza Pleads Guilty to Federal Drug Charges Former All-Star pitcher Esteban Loaiza pleaded guilty Friday to federal drug charges in California. Loaiza acknowledged that he possessed about 44 pounds, or 20 kilos of cocaine with the intent to distribute. He faces 10 years to life in prison when he’s sentenced on Nov. 2. Can we expect Loaiza to be granted leniency in this case since California prisons are still operating above capacity and at increased rates due to healthcare costs? It might be difficult to imagine what would possess a man who made more than $43 million in Major League Baseball to risk his life trafficking cocaine,
