Mike Rice has become a household name over the past two weeks for all the wrong reasons. Most of you have likely seen the disturbing video of Rice verbally and physically abusing his former Rutgers players by now, which has led many to conclude that he has no business coaching at all. However, it sounds like he has landed another gig coaching 12-year-old girls.

On Sunday, a Deadspin report citing Brian Geltzeiler of hoopscritic.com indicated that Rice was coaching 12-year-old girls in AAU ball over the weekend. Geltzeiler claimed in a series of tweets that a friend of his was at the game (his daughter was on the opposing team) and that Rice seemed like his usual animated self.

Just this afternoon Rice told a 12 year old girl,”I can’t even look at you” and the ref told my guy he would have T’d him up 2x if it was HS

A source has reportedly confirmed to SNY.tv (via The South Jersey Times) that Rice is indeed coaching a girl’s AAU team and that he was coaching them while he was still at Rutgers. However, that same source said that Geltzeiler’s account of the way Rice was acting is in no way accurate.

“The Deadspin report is a gross misrepresentation of the facts,” the source reportedly said. “The team’s parents are fully behind Coach Rice and his instruction of their daughters.”

Whether Rice was acting “crazy” or not, the thought of him coaching children is still disturbing. This is the same guy who repeatedly threw basketballs at his players’ heads and yelled homophobic obscenities at them. He later apologized for his actions and said he has no excuse for the way he acted, but Rice looks like a guy with anger management issues. People like that should not be mentoring youngsters.

Rutgers men’s basketball coach Mike Rice was suspended three games and fined $50,000 in December after the school’s athletic director saw video of the coach abusing his players in practice. Now that video of Rice’s horrific behavior has been made public.

ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” obtained video of Rice’s conduct in practice — likely through former Rutgers director of player development Eric Murdock, who was fired by the school in July — and it shows Rice verbally and physically abusing his players.

The video shows Rice kicking players, shoving them, pushing them and throwing balls at them from close range. He also verbally abuses the players. According to ESPN, Rice calls the players “fa–ots,” “mother—-ers,” “pu–ies,” “sissy b-tches,” and “c—-,” among other epithets.

Murdock intends to sue the school for wrongful termination, saying that he was fired for complaining about Rice’s conduct. Murdock believes Rice was able to get away with the abuse because he was on his best behavior when anyone came into the gym. He says Rice didn’t go back to his abusive form until others left.

Rutgers is moving to the Big Ten next season and Rice will be in the final season of his contract. The school’s athletic director told The Star-Ledger last month that Rice would be back next season.

Rice is 44-51 in three seasons at Rutgers, including a 17-39 mark in Big East play.

Rice had to undergo sensitivity training as part of his punishment for the video. There was also a stipulation that his practices would be monitored by someone outside the team.

The Rice video has left many in the sports world appalled. A number of current or former basketball stars (and other athletes) have sounded off on Rice’s conduct:
