Bernie Fine
Former associate head basketball coach (top assistant) for Syracuse University men's basketball team. He coached at the school from 1976 to 2011. Was fired in November of 2011 amid sexual abuse allegations by two former Syracuse ball boys. ESPN released a tape of a 2002 phone conversation between one of the former ballboys, Bobby Davis, and Fine's wife Laurie. In the tape, Laurie said she knew about her husband's behavior, but felt powerless to stop it. On November 27, 2011, it was announced that Syracuse University Chancellor Nancy Cantor had fired Fine in response to the allegations.
