Baylors assistant coaches released a statement via Twitter on Friday night, in which they disputed a Board of Regents members claims that former coach Art Briles was aware of an alleged gang rape involving former Bears players and didnt report it to proper authorities.During a meeting with the Dallas Morning News editorial board on Thursday, Baylor regent David Harper said he knew of at least one instance when Briles was told of an allegation of gang rape and didnt report it to proper authorities.He was made aware of one of the allegations of a gang rape, Harper told the Morning News. At least one of them. I cant tell you if he knew or didnt know about the others.On Friday night, Baylors assistant coaches, including Briles son Kendal and son-in-law Jeff Lebby, and several staff members disputed Harpers claims in a statement on Twitter. In the statement, the assistant coaches claimed the alleged victim reported [the incident] to her head sport coach and the coach reported to his superior (former athletic director Ian McCaw).Also on Friday, Bears wide receiver Chris Platt indicated on Twitter that the Bears were wearing black uniforms for Saturdays game against TCU to protest Briles firing, though on Saturday he denied that was the reason.?According to the assistant football coaches statement, McCaw instructed the head coach to report the incident to Baylors office of judicial affairs, which the coach did. The assistant coaches claimed Briles wasnt made aware of the incident involving football players and the alleged victim until nine months after the alleged incident occurred.According to the statement, the alleged victims coach informed Briles that he reported the incident to McCaw and judicial affairs. The statement said, Briles told [the victims coach] to report it to the police and prosecute the players if there was any wrongdoing.The Baylor assistant coaches claimed in the statement that the victims coach later said, I think Coach Briles handled the matter honorably and with the serious attention it deserved. The statement claims that the womans coach also stated that Briles followed up and was informed that the alleged victim did not want to report the incident to police.The assistant coaches also claimed that Briles never had contact with the woman.In an open letter to students, faculty and alumni earlier this week, Baylor interim president David E. Garland said there were a total of 17 reported allegations of sexual assault or domestic violence allegedly committed by 19 football players since 2011. In 2012, there were four allegations of gang rapes involving Baylor football players, according to Garland.Briles, who guided the Bears to a 65-37 record and at least a share of two Big 12 titles from 2008 to 2015, was fired May 26 after an investigation by Philadelphia law firm Pepper Hamilton found widespread problems with the way Baylor responded to allegations of sexual assault by students, including several football players. University president Kenneth Starr also was demoted and then fired, and McCaw was suspended and then resigned.Baylor regent Cary Gray told the Dallas Morning News on Thursday that Briles was fired because he delegated down discipline and he operated a system where he was the last to know when he needed to be the first to know.Former Baylor assistant athletic director Tom Hill told Outside the Lines in September that he was interrogated by Pepper Hamilton attorneys about an incident involving a former Baylor volleyball player. They asked me if I was aware of a rape. They asked me if I knew of a 6-foot-2-inch volleyball player, he said.Hill, who was fired in late May after the Pepper Hamilton findings were released by the university, said he told the attorneys that former volleyball coach Jim Barnes had stopped by his office and told him there had been a sexual encounter between a football player and a volleyball player. Hill said Barnes told him that it had already been reported to McCaw.[Barnes] indicated that he had had conversations with Briles prior to seeing me, Hill said. And he stopped by my office only to give me a pass-by FYI that he was discussing this issue with them. That was it. The issue was a potential sexual incident with a football player and a volleyball player.Hill said he never knew the name of the football player or the volleyball player, and he never knew specifically that it was a rape. Really, he didnt give me a lot of details, Hill said, adding that Barnes didnt tell him it was rape -- only that it was a sexual encounter.Hill said he called McCaw shortly after Barnes stopped by his office, but Hill said he did not learn any more details about the incident from that conversation.A reported gang rape by Baylor football players in 2011 shows up in an amended Title IX lawsuit filed by attorneys for Jasmin Hernandez. Hernandez was sexually assaulted by former football player Tevin Elliott and says in the lawsuit that Baylor officials knew of a culture of inappropriate sexual conduct by its football players long before her incident.In reference to the 2011 alleged gang rape, the complaint states that Baylor had actual knowledge of Jane Roe 4s gang rape but failed to respond promptly and equitably. As a result of Baylors inequitable response, Jane Roe 4 transferred out of Baylor to another university.It does not name the women or the football players allegedly involved in the incident, but sources have told Outside the Lines that the incident involving the volleyball player is possibly related.Hill said he was asked to come to a meeting on May 26 to answer some follow-up questions regarding the Pepper Hamilton report, and when he arrived, he was told that he was being terminated effective immediately based on the findings of the Pepper Hamilton investigation. He said Baylor officials would not tell him any more information.Its the second time Baylor assistant coaches and staff members have made an orchestrated effort to support Briles on Twitter. In early October, after acting coach Jim Grobe disputed the universitys account about the circumstances surrounding former Bears player Jeremy Faulks dismissal from the school, eight assistant coaches and several staff members nearly simultaneously tweeted a link to a story containing Grobes comments, along with the hashtag #TRUTHDONTLIE.Baylor executive associate athletics director Nick Joos told ESPN at the time that the university addressed the issue of the Baylor coaches tweeting about the case.Weve handled that internally and were not going to comment any further on it, Joos said. Weve handled that here tonight.

Cheap Air Jordan 5 China . - Levi Browns tenure at left tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers is over before it even began. No. 20 Arizona has seven available scholarship players, three of whom are freshmen, and so coach Sean Miller has a couple of new team policies.Youre not allowed to be a freshman and youre not allowed to foul, Miller said.The Wildcats (6-2) have little margin of error as they head into Tuesday nights game against UC Irvine (4-4) at McKale Center in Tucson, Ariz., starting at 9 p.m. ET.Arizona is coming off a 69-62 loss to No. 8 Gonzaga on Saturday in Los Angeles, which was the Wildcats first game without starting point guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright, who suffered a high ankle sprain a game earlier.On Monday, Miller gave an expected timetable for Jackson-Cartwrights rehab -- eight weeks.We have to make the best of it and figure it out, and thats what were doing -- were figuring it out, Miller said of the on-court adjustments. A lot of players come to Arizona to have big, big roles. And, believe me, every one of them does right now.Arizonas top three scorers are freshmen -- 7-foot forward Lauri Markkanen (17.8 points per game), guard Kobi Simmons (11.6) and wing Rawle Alkins (11.5). Without Jackson-Cartwright, combo guard Kadeem Allen will be the primary point guard, backed by Simmons.Allen was the starting point for much of last season, but Miller prefers him off the ball and to have less on his plate offensively, which also enables the senior to focus more on being the teams defensive ace. But, right now, Miller has few options because of injuries and one unexplained absence.The absence belongs to sophomore guard Allonzo Trier, who has yet to suit up this season, although he did travel with the team to Los Angeles last weekend. Trier, who averaged 14.8 points last season, had not accompanied the team on two previous road trips.Miller said the NCAA permitted Trier to travel last weekend. Asked if that was a good sign, Miller answered, No.dddddddddddd The only good sign is when he walks out there and plays.The school has not commented on the nature of the absence.As for the Anteaters, they are coming off a 58-55 victory at Santa Clara on Wednesday. Arizona beat Santa Clara 69-61 in Las Vegas on Thanksgiving.Senior guard Jaron Martin averages a team-high 13.8 points per game and 7-2 center Ioannis Dimakopoulos averages 11.4. Martin is playing almost 31 minutes per game, but Irvine will fairly evenly distribute minutes to eight other players.We rotate our players and I think thats the best way to manage a young team, UC-Irvine coach Russell Turner said. We have talent on this team and weve got to continue to play guys so their talents can emerge and build confidence.One of the young guys is freshman forward John Edgar Jr., whose father was a 6-6 center during Lute Olsons early days at Arizona. Edgar Sr. was a senior captain on the Wildcats first Pac-10 championship team in 1986.Edgar Jr. scored 13 points against Santa Clara.Another connection is UC-Irvine starting guard Max Hazzard, a redshirt freshman whose brother Jacob was an Arizona walk-on until completing his eligibility last season. Max Hazzard is averaging 6.3 points per game.The Wildcats beat the Anteaters 71-54 two seasons ago at McKale.Miller said Irvine is a well-organized team offensively and defensively with a lot of size, even after 7-6 center Mamadou Ndiaye completed his eligibility last season.Any team we play is going to be a great challenge, especially without Parker and with the limited numbers, Miller said. Those are our circumstances. Its up to us to improve and find a way.
