  In ideal world, Mac knows to say "I have to report this to legal counsel at the university and will take my instructions from them."  But he probably didn't know what he had to do or should do (and it sure sounds like he reported up the ladder - to AD - so that already puts him in a more favorable light than other coaches we've read about at other institutions).

So far, I don't know enough about the situation to have any opinion on McIntyre's actions - or lac thereof. However, I do know that by now basically every employee at every university in the country has to undergo training on reporting responsibilities for sexual harassment reports and various Title IX violations. Now it is not completely clear to me whether domestic violence is covered by Title IX (my understanding is that most institutions say it is - but I have read articles that claim this is unclear); 95% of people don't really pay attention during these training sessions; and for all I know high profile folks like coaches find their way out of sitting through them.
Still, I would assume that at least officially, he did know what he had to do upon hearing the allegations.
