Maybe Liberty University needs a new MBB coach?
But it all seriousness, this is damning news. I feel for the players who had to put up with this BS and for the school and students who supported the coach. I can't imagine any reason to make up these allegations, and if Trauth and co. can confirm what they are hearing on Twitter from Jaylen, Kaspar is gone and I can't think of any team that would hire him again.

Any names? Ones thrown out a few years back
Billy Gillespie (just a tad late on him, Tarleton added him beginning of April)
Terrance Rencher
Rob Flaska
Would love to hear some other names. Obviously nothing is official yet, but this doesnt look good.

Sucks partially because he was one of our better coaches.
If true tho.. and I'd be surprised if it isn't because Peacock backed it up... This sucks even worse for the players that had to put up with him. Winning isn't worth this. No one should have to deal with that.
Crap.. everything about this sucks but unless an avalanche of other players come out to defend Kaspar, he has to go. It's not ok to treat other people that way.
Billy Gillespie would be a decent replacement but the ink on his new contract isn't even dry yet. No telling what kind of buyout we are talking or if we can even fire Kaspar with cause without paying him.

Nothing sounds fireable to me. He definitely needs to cut the jokes and make amends where appropriate. Hate the self-righteousness of cancel culture . Also, athletes today are way more sensitive than my generation. Btw, an athlete can’t support a coach against these types of allegations without running the risk of not being “woke” enough to be a member of the team long-term.
For what it is worth, former player Deris Duncan came out in defense of Kaspar tonight.

Former Texas State Guard Jaylen Shead Details Coach Kaspar’s Alleged Racially Insensitive Remarks

This wasn’t handled properly by any of these guys. In my opinion him peacock and Kaspar all did a disservice to Texas State Athletics and the University. No where did I read or see he was physically mistreated, it was just words. If I had a nickel for every time a friend, family member, or coach said mean things to me I would be living high on the hog. It’s scary that we live in a society where someone and their work can be ruined with a single social media post no questions asked. Right or wrong it’s not the work of good character on either side.

Front page on ESPN, which is not a good look at all and I won't be surprised if he's ousted. He needs to go if these are true.

Nah man. Just because something was always done that way doesn't make it right. There is no reason for a coach to behave this way. My coach in high school was a hard ass but he was bringing racial stereotypes into it. This old school attitude is just that, old school. If you can't motivate players without being a dick then maybe you shouldn't be a coach.
