I thought the Ron Bell stuff was crap. But I saw how unfairly it hurt Pastner and Tech basketball and it makes me sick that another equally spurious innuendo could slow down another good Tech coach.

I just want people to leave us alone, whether it’s the NCAA or an unhappy women or a sleazy opportunist. 😩
Pastner opened the doors and let Bell in to muck around. Really stupid move that cost him dearly. Got probation from letting Bell in with the players.

The CDS stuff is crap and only found on this site.

No, whether what happened during the phone call was sexual assault or not is completely irrelevant outside of MSU's internal investigation that is mostly meaningless now that Tucker has been fired. You can not have an undisclosed relationship with a vendor, it's a huge conflict of interest and is Corporate 101 DO NOT DO THIS. Had Tucker disclosed the relationship prior, he would very likely still have a job and MSU would likely be defending him instead.

The only reason CDS is relevant is because he too had a relationship with someone and then hired them to do work, so you have potentially the same conflict of interest. We don't have all the details in CDS' case - maybe the relationship was while he was at a prior job to when he asked BT to come speak to his team, maybe he informed his employer about the relationship prior to hiring her, we don't know. But it's not something you want to even dabble in, so my hope is that Batt has reiterated to CDS explicitly what is/isn't allowed to make sure we don't end up dealing with a similar situation.

If anyone still isn't understanding, go watch The Office season 5 episode 3 "Business Ethics".
Where does it say he hired her to do work?

The propensity of GT fans to throw their own under the bus with very flimsy accusations is a long running theme. The level of insecurity and self-hatred necessary to say that Ron Bell may have had a point when the accuser was an obvious scammer with no credibility and an axe to grind was obvious. This is a similar situation in that the turd tosser is simply trying to deflect.
Mind boggling....

From one of the articles on this whole mess:

"To be sure, Ms. Tracy had previously worked with Mr. Stoudamire — and even remarked to Ms. Alvarado that “Damon had 2 reasons for bringing me to speak to his college team,” Tucker's legal team claims.
