Womens BB Operations Director Carper arrested
- Thread starter Tornado man
- Start date
I'm sure the athletic department has a procedure they follow for this type of thing. Your opinion is meaningless. Just sayin..
But he does work for the athletic department, at the coaching staff level, and in a state where mis-behavior by athletes and athletic departments presently has a rather high profile. Not to mention that ISU has a rather ugly incident in the not too distant past regarding a coaching staff member and alcohol.
Plenty of unpreventable bad things can happen to the athletic department along the way, like key players turning pro or transferring, highly touted recruits signing elsewhere, "lifetime" coaches skipping town, or huge mandatory budget cuts. However, coaching staff puking in taxis and then skipping out on fares are bad things that should be preventable. Enough unpreventable bad stuff happens as it is. ISU doesn't need the preventable garbage to pile on. If I was the AD, this would have been made abundantly clear to all department staff on the next working day after this little incident.

I'd be a little surprised if he lost his job. IIRC the former soccer coach was arrested for a 2nd offense OWI and still coached for a couple more years before she left. Yes, other disciplinary action was taken. Don't remember what, thinking either a loss of pay or giving back an increase or something like that. My guess - keeps his job and is on a very, very short leash.
Accountability is what all people are taught at this level...it's not like he stole a cell phone..if this is the biggest thing he does wrong,then handle it inside the school and let's wish josh the best of luck.!! (how would you like to walk into the coaches offices and explain this one)He made a mistake and could have been alot worse..
That, or they forgot the "re". As in "someone ... removed the television."

I doubt he survives this. Fennelly will make the decision, not Jamie, and Bill is extremely proud and protective about the image of his program. Having your Director of Operations getting drunk and being a punk does not fit with the image...
I don't think he will survive either. BF's program has a really clean image, I believe, and this is the type of thing that can hurt that image. Imagine you are a female athlete's parents, and BF is trying to recruit your daughter to come to ISU to play for him........is he going to want to explain that "Yeah, our Director of Operations got drunk, barfed in the back seat of a taxi, then took off without paying the driver. But he really is a good guy". Sorry, I just don't see BF wanting to be in that position, do you?
Now why do you have to single him out? Can't you just generalize and call out all hawk athletes? Seriously... why do you have to give James Ferentz special treatment?
