Did Mike Rice cross the line? #tellusatoday

Rutgers University fired men's basketball coach Mike Rice after a video surfaced of him physically abusing players and using a homophobic slur. Comments are edited for clarity and grammar:

There is a difference between testing someone's spirit and breaking someone's spirit.

He's just another coach who fails to realize his mission is to coach and lead kids.

— @jpughinreallife

Mike Rice is similar to Jerry Sandusky. A coach using his power to abuse players/kids.

— @ventura_omaha

Rice should have been fired back in November.

— @The_Dude_IAm

He apparently went to the Woody Hayes school of coaching. (Hayes was fired in 1978 after punching a player.)
