Neuheisel cries on stand in
personal testimony Monday
Former Washington football coach Rick Neuheisel
is suing UW and NCAA for wrongful termination
BY TIM KORTE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KENT, Wash. — Rick Neuheisel
cried on the stand Monday while dis
cussing his being fired as Washing
ton’s football coach, being separated
from his former players, and the im
pact on his family and career.
“It was devastating to my family.
It was devastating to me profession
ally,” he told jurors in the King Coun
ty Superior Court trial of his wrong
ful termination lawsuit.
“Having people stare at you like
you’re a zoo animal,” he said. “I
was used to being seen in public,
but this was foreign. ... I was being
likened to Pete Rose, this guy who
was gambling. It never, ever seemed
accurate or fair. ”
He admitted that he wasn’t fully
forthcoming when initially questioned
by NCAA investigators about gam
bling on NCAA basketball, explaining
that he feared implicating himself or
harming his friends.
Neuheisel is suing the NCAA and
the University of Washington. He fin
ished his second full day of testimony
and is expected to return to the witness
stand today. He claims Washington
administrators fired him in June 2003
under pressure from the NCAA.
Neuheisel broke down when he re
called the meeting in which his boss,
Washington athletic director Barbara
Hedges, told him he could either resign
or be fired. Hedges, who retired in Jan
uary 2004, testified earlier in the trial
that the main reason for the firing was
Neuheisel’s dishonesty.
He also cried when he described the
impact on his family and while recall
ing the realization that he would no
longer be coaching his players.
University of Washington officials
say Neuheisel lied when he denied
interviewing for a head coaching
vacancy with the San Francisco 49ers
in February 2003 and then lied to
NCAA investigators about taking part
in off-campus basketball pools in 2002
and 2003. He told NCAA investigators
the truth later the same day.
Neuheisel claims he lied about
interviewing for the 49ers because
he was honoring that team’s
demand for confidentiality.
Later on Monday, University
of Washington lawyer Lou Peterson
questioned Neuheisel about when
he learned of a key piece of
evidence: an e-mail by a former
Washington compliance officer that
mistakenly authorized gambling in the
off-campus NCAA basketball pools.
Neuheisel agreed that he never
mentioned the memo during his
June 4, 2003 interview with NCAA
investigators nor during meetings
with Washington administrators as
they discussed his fate.
“I didn’t recall an e-mail,”
Neuheisel said. “I just knew in my
head it was OK.”
Not until Washington sports
information director Jim Daves gave
him a copy of the e-mail late
on June 5 did Neuheisel have a
connection, he said, between what
he knew he had read somewhere
and a written copy to back it up.
“I was holding it like it was the
Holy Grail,” he said.
Neuheisel also complained about
“many, many, many” comments
by NCAA officials in newspaper
articles during the week after his
NCAA interview when Washington
officials were preparing to fire him.
“It gave me no chance,” he said.
And he described his difficulties
finding work until being hired as a
quarterbacks coach for the NFL’s
Baltimore Ravens last month. He will
earn $250,000 per year, a huge cut
from die $1.6 million he earned in his
final year as Washington’s head coach.
Track: Harmon ranked No. 11 in nation
Continued from page 9
For the women, senior Laura
Harmon continued her quest to run
at the national meet in Fayetteville,
Ark. Harmon, an All-American this
past season in cross country, finished
seventh with a 16:18.56 time.
“It would have been nice to get an
automatic time,” said the Vancouver,
Wash., native. “But the goal was to
break 16:20, so 1 accomplished that.”
Harmon, whose run was only nine
seconds off the automatic mark
of 16:10.00, is now ranked eleventh
nationally with her personal-best run
this past weekend.
In what has become routine this in
door season, sophomore Tommy Skip
per won the pole vault competition
with a clearance of 18 feet and 6 3/4
inches. Skipper’s opening jump of
18-1 bested the NCAA automatic
mark of 18-0 1/2. The Sandy
native missed three tries at 19-1,
which would have been a conference
record height. Skipper finished last
year’s indoor season as the NCAA
runner-up and then won the outdoor
championship the following spring.
Abildtrup makes season
debut and finishes second
In Idaho at the Holiday Inn
Invitational, senior Sofie Abildtrup
ran her first 400 meter of the
season, finishing second (55.37)
to LSU’s Deonna Lawrence (54.22).
Abildtrup finished less than a
second behind the NCAA provisional
mark of 54.40.
Also placing high for the Ducks was
junior Brittany Hinchcliffe, who placed
second in the weight throw with a toss
of 54 feet and 71/2 inches.
For the men, senior Leonidas
Watson improved his standing on the
provisional long jump list with a
jump of 25 feet and 3 1/2 inches. The
leap, good for second place behind
national leader Fabrice Lapierre,
is currently the indoor season’s
fourth-longest jump in the country.
Oregon indoor teams will
see sparse action this weekend in
preparation for the Mountain Pacific
Sports Federation Championships in
Seattle on Feb. 25 and 26.
