another unexpected firing...
IU Indy head coach Paul Corsaro was fired yesterday.
IU Indy is formerly IUPUI, and they hired Corsaro a year ago from DII Univ of Indianapolis where he was highly successful.
In his first year at IU Indy he posted a decent gain in a program that had been miserable for years, winning only an average
of 5.8 games per season of the prior five seasons.
However, four players transferred out and complained that they were treated poorly and subjected to abuse, which was defined as
intimidation, bullying and instilling fear.... dirty jokes, foul language, etc...
A couple more that transferred out (apparently smelling a settlement) joined in.... players he inherited from a horrible team that he did not recruit.
Specific details are slim but NOTHING even comes close to what we read about Gregg Marshall or Bobby Knight.
I guess it hints that kids nowadays are soft - they want to be treated like kings and given playing time without earning it.
One more note- a few years ago when Valpo was added to the MVC, IUPUI was one of the schools that was given consideration
of adding to the MVC. - LINK
