PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- Fuelled by outrage from even the governor when the video went public, Rutgers fired basketball coach Mike Rice on Wednesday after deciding it didnt go far enough by suspending and fining him for shoving, kicking and throwing balls at players along with spewing gay slurs. Athletic director Tim Pernetti was given a copy of the tape by a former employee in November and, after an independent investigator was hired to review it, Rice was suspended for three games, fined $75,000 and ordered to attend anger management classes. University president Robert Barchi signed off on the penalty. But on Wednesday, Rutgers referred to new information and "a review of previously discovered issues" as the reasons for Rices termination. "Yesterday, I personally reviewed the video evidence, which shows a chronic and pervasive pattern of disturbing behaviour," Barchi said in a statement. "I have now reached the conclusion that Coach Rice cannot continue to serve effectively in a position that demands the highest levels of leadership, responsibility and public accountability. He cannot continue to coach at Rutgers University." The video shows numerous clips of Rice at practice firing basketballs at players, hitting them in the back, legs, feet and shoulders. It also shows him grabbing players by their jerseys and yanking them around the court. Rice can also be heard yelling obscenities and using gay slurs. Rice, in his third season with the Scarlet Knights, addressed reporters outside his home in Little Silver, N.J., and apologized for his actions: "As I stated three months ago after I watched the video how deeply regrettable those actions (were). I also stated I was going to try to work on changing. I think Ive accomplished a lot of that," Rice said. "I cant say anything right now except Im sorry and there will never be a time where Im going to use any of that as an excuse or there will be any excuse. "Ive let so many people down: my players, my administration, Rutgers University, the fans. My family, whos sitting in their house just huddled around because of the fact their father was an embarrassment to them. Its troubling, but at some time maybe Ill try to explain it. But right now theres no explanation for whats on those films. There is no excuse for it. I was wrong. I want to tell everybody whos believed in me that Im deeply sorry for the pain and hardship that Ive caused. " Gov. Chris Christie, who said he was appalled when he saw the video on Tuesday, supported the firing at the states flagship public university. "This was a regrettable episode for the university, but I completely support the decision to remove Coach Rice," he said in a statement. "It was the right and necessary action to take in light of the conduct displayed on the videotape. "Parents entrust their sons to the Rutgers athletic department and the mens basketball program at an incredibly formative period of their lives. The way these young men were treated by the head coach was completely unacceptable and violates the trust those parents put in Rutgers University. All of the student-athletes entrusted to our care deserve much better." Rice, who helped Robert Morris to two NCAA tournament appearances, was one of the hot coaching candidates in the spring of 2010. But he wasnt able to push Rutgers into the upper echelon of the Big East Conference, and went 44-51. Rice was 16-38 in the Big East, after going 73-31 in three seasons at Robert Morris. The Scarlet Knights went 15-16 this season and 5-13 in the league. Pernetti took responsibility for trying to rehabilitate Rice instead of firing him. "Dismissal and corrective action were debated in December and I thought it was in the best interest of everyone to rehabilitate, but I was wrong. Moving forward, I will work to regain the trust of the Rutgers community," he said. Rice was Pernettis first major hire after getting the ADs job. Pernetti said his decision to only suspend Rice was made in part because the coach was remorseful. Rice had a reputation as being "a fiery guy with an edge" before coming to Rutgers and Pernetti said the two talked about it for five hours before he was hired. The video was made by Eric Murdock, the former NBA player who was hired by Rice to be director of player development. The two had a falling out over Murdocks appearances at a camp, and Pernetti said Murdocks contract was not renewed. Murdock, who said he was fired, then compiled the video, splicing together the practice lowlights of Rices first three years as coach. Pernetti said about 60 per cent of the incidents happened in Rices first season. He also was upset with Rice using a certain gay slur at a university where student Tyler Clementi committed suicide after a roommate used a webcam to see him kissing a man. "I would tell you that that word was at the core of the suspension," Pernetti said. "It absolutely concerns me. Its not acceptable."

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Dirk Nowitzki was hoping for the same kind of friendly bounce that allowed Kevin Durant to put the Oklahoma City Thunder ahead in their first-round playoff series. When Nowitzki didnt get it, the Dallas Mavericks could only settle for another frustratingly close loss and an uphill climb to survive in their first post-season since winning the NBA title. Russell Westbrook scored 29 points, Durant added 26 in an off-shooting performance and Oklahoma City clawed out a 102-99 victory over Dallas on Monday night to take a 2-0 series lead. The Mavs led in the final minute of both games in Oklahoma City but couldnt even manage a split as the Thunder gutted out two wins by a total of four points. "Thats what the playoffs are about," Westbrook said. "Toughness." Durant hit two free throws with 50.4 seconds left to give Oklahoma City a 98-97 lead, and James Harden hit four more foul shots to close it out for the Thunder. Jason Terry missed two 3-point attempts from the left wing in the final 5 seconds that could have tied it and set up overtime. "We come away from these two games disappointed but not dismayed. You tip your hat to the fact that they have made some big time plays," Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said. "Now, weve got to go home and do the same." Game 3 is Thursday night in Dallas. "Were just a couple bounces away from being up 2-0," said Nowitzki, who led Dallas with 31 points but missed both his shots in the final 75 seconds. "Its tough and its frustrating, but were going to keep coming. Were not going to lay down. If they beat us, were going to make them earn it." Durant put the Thunder ahead to stay after salvaging two key points with Oklahoma City inbounding the ball with only 2.6 seconds left on the shot clock. He grabbed the inbounds pass from Harden while headed toward the sideline, and Terry was called for a foul for bumping him. Durant hit both foul shots, and Nowitzki missed his chance to answer with a fade-away 12-foot jumper from the left side. He compared it to Durants foul-line jumper -- on which he later admitted he couldnt even see the rim -- that hit the front rim and backboard before falling in with 1.5 seconds left to win Game 1. "Ive made it 100 times. It bounced, hit every part of the rim and bounced off," Nowitzki said. "Thats kind of the way our seasons been going. "They get that bounce last game and we dont get it, so thats frustrating." After that, the Mavs were fighting from behind. Shawn Marion fouled Harden on the rebound, and the leagues top scoring reserve -- only eight days removed from a concussion suffered as the result of Metta World Peaces elbow to the head -- also converted both free throws. He hit two more with 15.6 seconds left after Terry got the Mavs within one with a driiving layup.dddddddddddd "Weve just got to continue to take that punch from them and do a great job of sticking together," Durant said. "Games like this in the playoffs, theyre going to get chippy and we know that. So, weve just got to play through it. This one nearly came to blows, literally. The tension escalated quickly after Serge Ibaka tried to block Nowitzkis jumper midway through the first quarter and smacked him in the left eye on his follow-through, without getting called for a foul. Nowitzki hit another jumper along the baseline on Dallas next possession before he got shoved in the back by Kendrick Perkins while jockeying for rebounding position on a made 3-pointer by Durant. Perkins followed Nowitzki for a few steps before Nowitzki bumped him away, and Perkins responded by taking a swing at Nowitzkis head with his open hand. Official Zach Zarba stepped in front of Perkins and backed him away, and both were assessed technical fouls. "He tried to bully me and I bullied back a little bit and talked about some stuff, and moved on," Nowitzki said. The Thunder erupted a few minutes later, scoring the final nine points of the first quarter -- all within an 82-second span -- and then carrying over the momentum to build a 46-30 lead with 5:55 left before halftime. When Nowitzki and Perkins finally got back on the court together, the Mavericks All-Star exacted some revenge while getting his team back in the game. He went on a personal 10-2 run, with all of the points coming while he was matched up against Perkins, to get the deficit down to 50-47. "Its playoff basketball. Its physical. We dont like the cheap shots when they give them, and they dont like them if we give them. Thats the nature of competition," Carlisle said. "I love hard-played, clean, competitive playoff series. You throw the ball up and may the best team win. "The dirty (expletive) has got to stop. We dont want anybody getting hurt out there, either way." Notes: After going back and forth responding to each others comments on how Oklahoma Citys defence on Nowitzki was officiated in Game 1, Brooks insisted any dispute with Carlisle wasnt personal. Years ago, the two roomed together while playing in the Continental Basketball Association. "He was a good roommate. He didnt snore," Brooks said. "Thats all it takes. Buy me a meal every now and then and not snore, youre a perfect roommate." He later playfully retorted: "If you want it to be personal, I was a better player. How many years did I play in the league? How many years did he play? I played over a decade. He played three." ... Marion hadnt made a playoff 3-pointer since 2007 before making two in Game 1. He had another in Game 2. ... Ibaka, who tied his regular season best with 22 points in the first game, got into foul trouble and scored only two. wholesale jerseys china ' ' '
