eGriz rumors involve some sort of "altercation."

Bobcatnation rumor: "Can’t put your hands on a woman in the workplace."


He's technically on leave, but I can't see Holsinger being the Lady Griz head coach again. The team wasn't doing well on the court, fans were already starting to call for his head, and now we have this. It's also his contract year, I believe, so UM doesn't really lose anything by shedding him. I don't mind, really—he came off as an arrogant douche from the beginning.
