Isiah Urges Rutgers' Stringer To 'Get The Facts'

Isiah Thomas urged C. Vivian Stringer to "get the facts" about what he said during a sexual harassment trial Friday, after the Rutgers' women's coach was quoted as saying his comments during a deposition were "disgusting."

A portion of the deposition was shown in court during the trial, in which a jury ruled that Thomas and Madison Square Garden sexually harassed former team employee Anucha Browne Sanders.

Rutgers' Coach Says Thomas' Comments In Deposition 'Disgusting'

Rutgers women's basketball coach C. Vivian Stringer didn't like it when Don Imus and his producer called her players rude and racially insensitive names. She didn't like hearing Isiah Thomas defending the use of similar language, either.

"It's disgusting. You know, I turned the dog-gone set off. I thought 'has he lost his mind,' honestly," Stringer told ESPN's Doris Burke of her reaction to comments Thomas made in a videotaped deposition for a sexual harassment lawsuit against him and the owners of the Knicks.

Izzo's MSU Team Sure To Have Challenging Practice Sessions

Practice sessions likely will be more challenging than some games when Michigan State's season starts in a few weeks.

The Spartans are so talented and deep that the starters can expect all they can handle from the second-stringers. They might have the most complete roster since coach Tom Izzo took over the program and built it into a national power, winning the 2000 national championship, four Big Ten titles and reaching four Final Fours.
