Great press for UCLA!

Either P. Diddy was demanding preferential treatment for his son or the assistant coach in question is a colossal jerk to all his players.

That's a good question. Maybe only the strength and conditioning coach?

Why does it have to be "or"?

Turns out it was the strength and conditioning coach and P Diddy attacked him with a kettlebell.

The UCLA coach "is infamous in his own right. He was a NY Jets coach who was suspended by the NFL in 2010 after tripping a Miami Dolphins player who was covering a punt."

Is there a jail on the Stanford campus (other than the experimental one from my avatar)?  Stanford has a police force so I imagine it has a jail.  Does anybody have good stories about it?

This is going to do for USC fanboards what Donald Trump's announcement for president did for Daily Show Correspondents.

An entitled athlete, a S&C coach on a power trip with a colorful history (of goon-ish behavior), and an aggressive, near-plutocrat father with a similar entitlement complex.  What could go wrong?

Someone please leak that campus security video...!

Comedy gold. Ben Stiller as the S&C coach, for sure.


Diddy would play himself, of course.

Is there any evidence that Diddy Jr. really misbehaved? I'm sure plenty of get yelled at during practice.

I don't think the behavior (mis- or otherwise) of Diddy Jr. is at issue.


There are all sorts of hilarious bits as one side or the other tries to get their spin out.

My favorite from there is,
"Alosi ... put up his hand in a non-threatening way ...  Diddy then walked into Alosi’s hand"

I have always hated it when guys have tried to hit my fist with their faces. My little brother did that all the time when we were kids.

On another note, one has to question how much street cred an aging Diddy could get by being arrested by campus police.

I am thankful Stanford football players with NFL parents are apparently not as actively involved in the voluntary work-outs.

At all levels of sports you will find some parents that are a bit too involved.  As a parent/coach/ref in youth sports I work tirelessly to get my parents to stay civil, but it is often a challenge even with weekend soccer or flag football in youth leagues.  My rather well off town has even had parents arrested at U-10 soccer games.  U10 recreational soccer!  Some parent was disruptive enough to get arrested in front of 3rd graders, and their own child.  Crazy.

From what I have seen the UCLA strength coach appears to serve a role in the UCLA process.  He seems to tell all of the players that they are too soft, they need to work harder if they want to win the Pac-12, etc. etc.

Seems like a certain opinionated and successful parent didn't like hearing that his son was a slacker.  This stuff probably happens all over CFB, as it certainly happens in youth sports across the USA.  The only news was that P Diddy took it far enough to get arrested, and he was famous enough for the media to care.

UCLA likely hopes the story will go away, and it will as soon as a college football player at another program gets arrested for a DUI or domestic violence.

Whack job parents...
* I remember dropping off my son for a club volleyball practice.  They under-14s.  One of the helicopter dads -- with a son that had no talent -- was barking at the coach and the club director.  Two hours later, I came back to pick up my son, and sure enough, the guy was still barking at the club director and coach.
* When my son was twelve, his little league team participated in the local district TofC.  This wasn't the tournament that led to the LLWS, this was a tourney among the winners of eight leagues in the South Bay.  The district head gathered us together to re-explain the basic rules. The Los Gatos coach asked "let's say my team is down in the fourth inning by nine runs, so I'm almost at the ten run rule.  What's my incentive to play the three guys on my bench?"  The district head said, "You have to, there's minimum play rules."  The coach replied, "I don't care, I want to win."  I said, "How about because it's the right thing to do?"  He looked at me and said, "Oh yeah, sure." then rolled his eyes.
* Two years earlier, a little league tournament game among eight year olds.  The score is 22-0 in the third inning.  The losing team miraculously gets a runner to first base, then dances off of first.  You can't take a lead in little league, but the rule is that the batter has to be on the base when the ball is pitched.  Nevertheless, the pitcher throws over to first, it goes into right field, and the kid runs around to home.  22-1.  The Los Gatos coach stops the game to go find the tournament director to get the run taken off of the board.  Yay, sportsmanship!!
Anyway, I could come up with a zillion of these stories...the football coach who taught his center to grab the neck of the nose guard in an eighth grade game because the older refs wouldn't notice it...the soccer parents who cursed players of the other team when they were near their sidelines...the basketball parent who challenged another parent to a fistfight because the other parent yelled "Miss!" when his son was shooting a free throw in a tight game...lots of fun in youth sports.

I've got a LL All Star story from last night!

10-year old All Star game, one Palo Alto team against a team from Pacifica.  It is the bottom of the sixth, and Pacifica is leading 22-5 (by some serious misfortune - especially for those of us playing in the next game - the Pacifica team led by only 9 after 4th and 5th innings, thus no mercy rule).  A Palo Alto player attempts to score from second on a hit to the outfield, and there is a close play at the plate.  The umpire calls the runner safe due to catcher interference (blocking the plate before he had the ball).  I thought the kid was safe anyway, but whatever, that is a judgment call by the home plate ump. The Pacifica coach comes out to argue the call.  That's when I had to give the guy some grief ("get back in the dugout coach!"  "Only one more out to go!," "Look at the scoreboard!"). 

To no one's surprise, the final was 22-6.
