Sources: Mike Rice Continues to Coach Basketball

Former Rutgers head basketball coach Mike Rice is continuing his coaching career, with the NJ Shore Shots seventh grade girls team.

Rice, who previoulsy coached at Robert Morris, was fired from his Rutgers position after a video of aggressive coaching practices aired on ESPN, has apparently been coaching his daughter Katie's team for years, according to the Asbury Park Press.

Rice can be found on the coaches list for the NJ Shore Shots online. The AAU team pulls from several townships in the area.

Brian Geltzeiler of Hoopscritic.com shed light beyond the shore's borders last weekend after pointing out on Twitter that Rice was seen in Holmdel "as crazy as ever."

"One of my moles is watching Mike Rice coach 12 year old girls at Holmdel High in NJ right now as crazy as ever yelling @ both refs and kids," he said on Twitter.

Geltzeiler went on to say that a former Temple University basketball player saw Rice coaching the team, and called him a "lunatic."

"Former Temple player @MikeThreeswyk saw Rice yesterday at Stone Bridge Middle School and used the word 'lunatic' to describe his coaching."

Mike Vreeswyk, who played for Temple from 1985 to 1989, said he was there to witness Rice.

"I was there and can verify it's true. He was a lunatic yesterday at Stone Bridge Middle School as well."

Deadspin.com originally picked up Geltzweiler's story, and cited a source close to the AAU team who said the parents fully support Rice.

Rice coached at Robert Morris University from 2007 to 2010 before taking the job at Rutgers.

ESPN reports that a former RMU player claims Rice used anti-gay slurs on several occasions and engaged in a shoving match with a player during halftime of a game, but the college's internal investigation into the former head coach  found no evidence of the "coaches against player" brawls alleged by an ex-Rutgers employee.
