ETSU Investigation
Findings
1.Neither Coach Skole, Coach Bunn, nor trainer Brian Johnston engaged in any misconduct or inappropriate activity in the disciplinary session conducted on May 14, 2012.
2.There were no violations of NCAA rules or guidelines regarding “day off” as a result of the event. The players scheduled practice for May 14 was canceled, and the team had its “day off” on Wednesday in Atlanta.
3.While there did appear to be at least some confusion as to whether the session was a result of poor play at the Saturday or Sunday games versus Stetson, or a breaking of curfew by a player or players on Saturday night, either of these reasons might very well be a basis for such a practice.
The May 14 event broke no rules and appropriate safeguards were in place to protect the participants at all times. The activities do not appear to constitute player abuse, but were rather disciplinary actives resulting from either a less than satisfactory on field performance and/or the breaking of a team rule regarding curfew.
