Guest CanadianChris Posted May 5, 2003 Report Posted May 5, 2003 Full article at http://espn.go.com/ncb/news/2003/0505/1549675.html : AMES, Iowa -- Iowa State basketball coach Larry Eustachy resigned Monday, just days after the publication of embarrassing photos of him drinking and partying with students. Eustachy acknowledged that he was an alcoholic seeking treatment last Wednesday, the same day the school suspended him with pay and athletic director Bruce Van De Velde recommended he be fired. The deal between Eustachy and Iowa State gives the coach $110,000 for the remainder of 2003 and a lump sum of $850,000 on Jan. 1, 2004. He had eight years remaining on a 10-year, $10 million contract. "By resolving this situation today, we will continue to move forward in our important mission of providing students with the best education possible," said Dr. Greg Geoffroy, university president. ------------------------- Well, this obviously had to happen. The question now is whether any school will hire Eustachy now...I think he'll coach again, but not for at least a couple of years. I see him waiting until the furor has died down, a la Bob Knight.

Guest hardyz1 Posted May 6, 2003 Report Posted May 6, 2003 Here's to you Larry! I hope that was in poor enough taste.
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Posted May 7, 2003 Report Posted May 7, 2003 Now if only the same thing could happen to Joe Pa up at Sappy Valley. Oh the pictures...
Guest hardyz1 Posted May 7, 2003 Report Posted May 7, 2003 Heh, Paterno's already in some hot water for playing Anwar Phillips in the Capitol One Bowl after he was kicked off the team. Here's another toast to the pimp daddy Eustachy!
