Kevin Hadsell Denies The Deadspin Allegations

It was pretty interesting that there were only two captains interviewed when there are 4 on the women's side now that Kertesz left and Kasperski. And to back J Squire- Hadsell had the opportunity to talk to Jesse and didn't. Two opportunities that he didn't take but had. Also, he had a chance to speak with Doug from Deadspin and didn't. Coincidence? I don't think so. So instead he filmed interviews with Will Kunkel in a utility closet somewhere in Toledo, and because it didn't have the big lance/Oprah response he was probably expecting, it got cut to 3 parts and "unaired" footage is now on YouTube.

Even odder, is that he admitted to accusations in the interviews And then the blade interview with the 2 captains had them saying conflicting things lolololol. Oh Hadsell denies telling people not to take birth control? Odd, he must have told kristal personally "openly, in many team discussions" to not take it. What? That doesn't make any sense. He also admitted to drinking at practice and then Barnes and Kristal said that never happened. Get your lies straight if your going to be in cahoots.

Minor point, and in general I agree with you.

I though he said that he discouraged the women from taking birth control pills because of all of the [extra] hormonal stuff it put in their bodies. Thus, the reason, he said, was for the hormonal issue, not the social or other issues.

I know! Just think how much more exposure he wouldve gotten by letting some nameless blogger interview him instead of being interviewed by a TV station and the local newspaper. Yeah! If it were me and I was trying to get an "Oprah like response" I know the first thing I'd to is tell CNN and the Wall Street Journal to bite me, and find some hole in the wall website whose author, who happens to live in the area thinks the Toledo scandal has much in common with the Penn State one.

It is official, this board is DUMBER than the one at Runner's World!

Incorrect, Nick Thomas here I was not thrown off the team I quit by choice for various reasons which I will not discuss on this message board.

It's not the stupid saying on the shirt that has everyone ROFL, it's the stupid look on his face and the wannabe hipster hand gesture. This 'adult' shouldn't be in cahrge of anyone, even dogslikeWOOF

also I was not kicked off tiffins team, haha oh the trolls that post on these message boards haha

From someone who is not affiliated to the scandal other than reading this thread...

You are batsh!t crazy and losing every argument. Give it up.

Now, proceed to call me Emma or any number of other names from the story, of whom I have no idea who they are. I'm just a D1 runner from the Big Xii.

If you were not an immature high school boy you might have been able to figure out that someone posing in a shit like that, especially if he just got it, is going to affect a stupid look like that for effect. It's not like he posed that way for his pic for the freakin UT media guide. If you have never done such a thing yourself it is probably because you do not have to change clothes or throw up fake gang signs to look like a complete total bona fide 10 percent no holds barred dyed in the wool grade A level one RETARD!

How is that pro thing working out N.T.?

I cannot think of a single coach of a women's track/XC team I have known that would pose like that on a team trip. He talked about how he had screwed up and done a lot of things that he should not, and this picture serves to illustrate (not prove) that.

There are far too many things that might be semi-innocent or at least acceptable in a general adult setting that are inappropriate, especially when done repeatedly, with a male in charge/control of a bunch of dependent (on him) and impressionable women.

His defenders here sometimes seem laughably disconnected from what appropriate standards of behavior are for someone in his position, wanting to substitute in its place something that is acceptable in positions of less trust and responsibility. Given the one-way arrow in authority and responsibility, essentially nothing of childish or bratty or whatever behavior on the part of women on the team is relevant. Even bringing it up, much less repeatedly attacking it, is a clear sign that the poster does not understand the situation.

How is that pro thing working out? haha that is a laughable reason as to why I left the team, I would have to hear where you heard that?

Oh, the irony.

Go back to church, grandpa.

How do you know that they are dependent and impressionable?

From your ex team at UT

So glad that he is gone. They need a real coach, not what he became.

The AD should be fired for not having the correct people investigate the problem when it was brought to him back in September!

What names on the team told you that I quit the team to run professionally and who told you I was kicked off the team? Also what is your name? I bet you cant come up with any names because that's a complete lie and your a troll.

I will always remember the good times I had running for Toledo and the good teammates I had on that team regardless of what people say about me.

Lets start with your d@mbass handle!

F@ck you

Huh?

People make mistakes we are human. Kevin Hadsell gets a mulligan in my book. He was wrong and took responsibility. I don't think his name as a human being should be completely destroyed how many other coaches have had similar situations and still been able to coach? The answer is plenty maybe not at Toledo but he should eventually be afforded the opportunity to coach college again...
