I saw that last month. I don’t think that a real independent investigation will be kind to ASU.

Why is that?? How do you conclude this

Why is that?? How do you conclude this

Hockey player dies at school workout? Led by someone the school didn’t vet? Numerous errors made during workout and treatment after player collapsed? I’ve read most of the reporting via college hockey news, plus the above espn reporting. ASU’s own report details the lapses. Imagine what an independent report would find and reveal from players and attendees not beholden to the school. Hell, just read the above story about ASU’s own report. Lots of unnamed people. Just wait for the criminal investigation and civil lawsuits.

The story say that the coaches considered it to be a “punishment workout.”

Who is leading asu?

From what I read, players don’t want any of current coaching staff, at least the HC and Assistant Coaches around.

Can you blame them?

 

[WVilleLion]

Can you blame them?

Nope. I cannot believe they did not suspend the assistant coaches as well. Hope the players continue to fight for them to be suspended as well.
