Feff Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 I wonder if we'll ever hear the full story on this. I mean it can't just be the hit & run that made him resign can it? One vehicle damaged, no one injured doesn't really sound like a firing/resigning offense to me. Quote

If he was driving impaired with five players in the vehicle, that would justify a termination. We'll see if that was the case. Quote
petey23 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Unless alcohol was involved. If he was driving impaired with five players in the vehicle, that would justify a termination. We'll see if that was the case. My guess would be he was probably out drinking the night before which certainly isn't a crime, but still having alcohol in your system the next morning and driving certainly is and having your athletes in the vehicle multiplies it. Like I said, just my guess. But if I was a parent I would be pretty pi$$ed off. You send your daughter to college and hope you have taught them what they need to know to get by at school and you somewhat entrust part of their well being with the coach and staff who recruited them. One of the main things every parent tries to instill in their kid is do not drink and drive and do not get in a vehicle with someone who has been drinking. If this is what happened it is inexcusable.

UNDColorado Posted December 4, 2013 Author Posted December 4, 2013 My guess would be he was probably out drinking the night before which certainly isn't a crime, but still having alcohol in your system the next morning and driving certainly is. This scenario makes the most sense. Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 I figured this news deserves the double face-palm. This is just what we don't need right now. 1 Quote

Yea, I agree that's a likely scenario to what happened. Also, the fact that he may still have been impaired is probably the reason he didn't stop and report the incident. Question - is it normal for a Division I volleyball coach to be a chauffeur for the players while on the road? I realize volleyball isn't football or hockey, but it still seems a bit strange that professional transportation wasn't provided for the team. 1 Quote

I don't know for sure but I wouldn't be surprised that they handle their own transportation - probably less expensive, getting to/from airport and to/from the fieldhouse. Quote
CAS4127 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 One has to think there was more than just possible alcohol consumption, unless this isn't the first time an alcohol issue has come up with home. There just has to be way more to this story. Yellowknife seems to know something, and I don't think s/he is a Bison fan, at least that I can tell. Quote
bincitysioux Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 His profile is already gone from fightingsioux.com. That didn't take long............... Quote

On the GF Herald chat today, one of the writers made mention that this incident triggered an internal review....so there may have been other issues in play and it is possible that alcohol may not have been a factor?

They made it sound like the story would be updated after the initial resignation was posted. I'm sure there will be some more details in the updates. Quote
Dustin Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 My guess is that the hit-and-run wasn't the only thing; it just started the internal review which in turn uncovered more. Sad day for UND volleyball. Hardee seemed to get the most out of his teams - I want that again. Quote
SiouxTupa Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 I think just that one incident would be enough. If alcohol was involved, he endangered the lives of the student athletes in the vehicle with him. Definitely waiting for additional details. Quote
bison73 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Hate to see him go. He put together a hell of a team. Its obvious that there is more to the story. Quote
UND-1 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Just don't hire the assistant as the easy way out. We saw how that worked out for UND FB and NDSU VB. Quote
CAS4127 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Did we see the results of other issues with the immediate loss to SUU?! Ya gotta wonder!!?? Quote
bincitysioux Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Dan Corey @DanCorey8now UND Athletic Director Brian Faison said Hardee's actions were "unacceptable" and "that's why we've taken the action we've taken." Quote
jdub27 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Did we see the results of other issues with the immediate loss to SUU?! Ya gotta wonder!!?? What are you talking about? UND beat SUU twice, 3-0 both times they played. Quote
CAS4127 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 What are you talking about? UND beat SUU twice, 3-0 both times they played. I thought SUU was team that knocked UND out of tourney in 3. Maybe I misread--wasn't trying to be dink. Quote
jdub27 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 I thought SUU was team that knocked UND out of tourney in 3. Maybe I misread--wasn't trying to be dink. Idaho State did. They were the #3 seed and ended up winning the tournament. 14-6 conference record vs. 17-3 for both UND and PSU. Quote
