Skating naked at Agganis? Don't see the appeal, but maybe that's just me.
First, some of this shit happens at every school, with every program. The idea of entitlement, kids with grades/SATs lower than the general population, easier classes, etc. Our hockey program hasn't been immune to issues either. O'Hanley & Motherwell had their demons that got them tossed 5 years ago, the T incident (though it was determined the T driver was at fault *shocking I know* -the players were not completely innocent in the situation).
The difference between that program and others is obviously they cross the line. It truly is a culture issue, they (I'm including Parker) have minimal respect for the school, the program, and really each other. How many years in a row has a player gotten tossed from that program? And it's clear based on the actions of Trivino that it takes a lot of strikes for Parker to give you the boot.
The incident of the players going out the night before their season being on the line in 2010. Talk about throwing everything you've worked for all year away.
The problem is, they (again I'm including Parker), don't see the problem in their actions.
Starting at the top:
Campus police did not find out about the party, nor did BU administrators — until this year, when the task force started asking questions. During interviews with the task force, hockey coach Jack Parker also professed ignorance, at first saying he had never heard about the bash, but later acknowledging he knew of “a few guys drinking in the locker room.”
Yet at least two players and an athletics staffer told the task force that within days of the party, Parker reprimanded the entire team for its behavior.
Having the face of your program and arguably your school lying to the task force really shows how valuable it was.
“However,” Parker is quoted as saying, “my job is not to say, ‘You guys gotta be celibate.’ ”
Talk about missing the point.
Then to the players:
“You don’t ask [permission for sex] when you are drunk,” he told the task force, adding that he did not see how the actions of the two players charged last year constituted sexual assault.
Another player used two slurs to describe women who “hook up with multiple guys,” then wondered, “What other word for them is there?”
Really? Are you that stupid? Even if it was what you believe (talking more to the 1st quote but the 2nd as well) how are you dumb enough to tell the task force?
There have been many BU fans saying it's time for Parker to go long before all this shit hit the fan for performance reasons (1 Frozen 4 in 15 years with the amount of talent he gets is an embarrassment). It seems like there is more than enough evidence to say the old man has long overstayed his welcome
