Earlier today Rutgers suspended head basketball coach Mike Rice for three games for a "violation of athletic department policy." What wasn't explicitly stated was the exact nature of this "violation."When you suspend your head coach for three games and don't say why, people get curious.Well we didn't have to remain curious for long, as it only took N.J. Star Ledger reporter Brendy Prunty a few hours to break the story and tell us that throwing basketballs at players heads is apparently not sanctioned by the Rutgers athletic department...which is odd since Greg Schiano got away with this for years.While Prunty may have broken the story, we've got the video - so here exclusively, we bring you the video footage of Mike Rice conducting basketball practice.
