Tyler Summitt admits inappropriate relationship, resigns at Louisiana Tech

Gives new meaning to taking it to the hole.

Seems like a good way to throw away something that you probably didn't deserve to have in the first place.

Was a poor hire to begin with due to his age. Young, inexperienced coach in charge of college girls 2-3 years younger than him? What parent would have trusted him with their daughter? This was asking for trouble.

[Sportsaholic Mamaw]

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't he married? If so, does he and his wife have children? He worked so much with his Mother's program, this is a sad development due to his Mother's health and his devotion to her.

I bet his wife isn't too happy either!

I think the AD should go as well. There needs to be accountability for htis hiring decision.

The wife is much better looking than either two players in the pics. That bad choice will haunt him for a long time.

I can see that conversation...

 

"But honey, as their coach, it's part of my job to show these young ladies how to score..."

Just a stupid hire by LA Tech.

 

The coach/player relationship is obviously inappropriate, but outside of that (and of course his infidelity) this isn't much of an issue.

University President needs to go too then.

Not so sure the NCAA thinks the same way about this issue.

Talk about impermissible benefits...

For @Getslow, and all you other lawyers out there. Any liability for the University if this player decides to turn around and sue Coach Summitt and the school?

Oh my!!! Now, you're going to get me started and who knows where that will land me.

I can't imagine. Ultimately it's similar to a relationship between a woman and a college professor. She's not underage; it appears to have been fully consensual. It's a firable offense but I see nothing actionable as regards the university.

 

You never know though and there could be some quirk in LA state law that allows a cause of action here.
