It's Not Plagiarism If You Link To It: Coker, Kaczenski and Ferentz

in Iowa Hawkeyes News

PrintMarcus Coker might have been the last guy you'd think would be suspended. The news of his suspension is surprising. After all, he was twice named Maryland's Gentleman of the Year. The local media is scurrying to find some answers.
Marc Morehouse grabbed a quote from Gary Barta at the Iowa women's basketball game. Barta said,
I can't say anything beyond what was in the release
Barta also noted Iowa's decision to suspend Coker came from the athletic department and not Ferentz. Morehouse contacted Johnson County Attorney Janet Lyness and "her office isn't investigating anything involving Coker." Whatever Marcus did, it happened recently. Coker can be seen practicing with the team in Iowa's release of bowl practice pics from December 18th.
More than one blog is citing unknown sources claiming Coker's suspension is for academics. Poor grades do fall under the athletic code of conduct. Some form of cheating is too.
KCJJ is reporting something different. Per KCJJ,
One law enforcement agent told KCJJ that the issue is legal in nature, while another said that their superiors have been "unusually tight-lipped" about the situation.
and
and multiple sources have told KCJJ that the suspension involves a legal investigation
Ferentz has a call-in show tonight, maybe we'll get some answers (pffft).
With Marcus Coker suspended, Mike Hlas looks at who's left. It's Jordan Canzeri, Damon Bullock, Jason White and De'Andre Johnson. Hlas didn't mention Brad Rogers but he's there too.
Rick Kaczenski left Iowa for presumably Nebraska. The announcement of Kaz to the Nebraska staff appears to waiting on the announcement of a new defensive coordinator. Kaczenski may have left for the money. He was the lowest paid assistant on Iowa's staff and may see a raise heading West. At least one recruit, Daumantas Venkcus, is upset by the news.
One coach that isn't leaving? Kirk Ferentz.
Iowa issued a press release at 9:55 pm (CT) last night informing the masses of Ferentz reaffirming his commitment to Iowa. The timing is odd but it's possible that the staff is getting feedback on the recruiting trail about some negative recruiting. It's the dead period in recruiting and the coaches are limited in their communication with recruits. Perhaps this was Ferentz talking to them through the media.
The NCAA ruled on Ohio State's case and issued a post season ban and the loss of four scholarships in addition to the five OSU previously stated they would self impose. For a complete timeline of OSU's case ESPN has that here. How does that benefit Iowa? The Hawkeyes, if they become eligible, could move up the bowl pecking order in 2012.
Hoops. Hawkeye men's hoops rolled to another easy win over another 300+ Kenpom.com rated team. The final against the Central Arkansas Bears was 105-64 at Carver-Hawkeye Monday night. The Hawkeyes were led by Devyn Marble's 19 points and freshman Aaron White's 17. The Hawkeyes got a strong defensive performance from Matt Gatens who held Drake's leading scorer Ben Simons to five points.
Coach McCaffery said afterwards that he thought this was Iowa's most balanced effort to date. McCaffery said, "It was a focused effort. It wasn't perfect, but it was hard fought at both ends."
Up next for Iowa hoops is Boise State Thursday night at 7:30pm (CT). Boise State is 9-3 on the season and may come to Carver without their leading scorer, Anthony Drmic. Boise State is #105 in the latest kenpom rankings. Iowa is #127.

Interesting
after going from “no posting” and thus needing at least two weeks until its official, now all of a sudden we may find out earlier.
Guess I should be glad that KF and the SID office are being a bit more proactive in not letting the news cycle get away from them

The cop was an idiot
because he pulled over a guy driving on a suspended license? That’s part of their job. That is was a Hawkeye wrestler means nothing. Marion should not have been driving.
"If you need a rah-rah speech at halftime, you’re playing the wrong sport." - Pat Angerer
You know
a guy on the HR wrestling board made an interesting point about this issue. He said that Montell got a speeding ticket this last summer and was obviously not dinged with this “driving while barred” charge. What is the deal here? They would have run his license when you was given the ticket. His license would have been revoked following events that occurred over a year ago, so why wasn’t his barred license in the system 4-5 months ago?
Parsimony methods are the easiest ones to explain - Felsenstein
The story I heard was that he failed to show for the hearing on the speeding ticket
and didn’t pay his fine, so they barred his license. Take that with however many grains of salt you want.

That may be the case then.
If so, really dumb on his part.
Parsimony methods are the easiest ones to explain - Felsenstein
Well, because in this case
the cop decided, appropos of nothing (at least as mentioned in the article), to run his plates. That’s rather proactive on his part and skirts dangerously close to finding a violation for “driving while black”
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Cops run plates all the time
and in the not too distant future most cop cars will be equipped with scanners that automatically check every plate they see and alerts the officer when one of them returns a problem (the tech exists, it’s just a matter of funding and deployment)
I’m sure some cops are more selective than others with the practice but given what we know of the situation, there is no way we can accuse the officer of looking for a DWB.

I just think this may be an instance
of the cop being overly proactive. He found something, and it was legitimate, but that doesn’t mean whatever gave rise to the decision to run the plates was valid. Reminds me of Marion, IA cops.

Grew up in CR
off of East Post Road. Had to go through Marion during high school to get to the Lindale area. And worked at Zoey’s. The cops were always looking for a reason to pull you over. Including one time where I was riding in my parent’s car and they pulled us over because I hadn’t yet buckled my seat belt in the passenger seat. Nevermind that I was in the process of doing so when they saw me and was buckled up by the time I was pulled over, it wasn’t an offense – not the driver – and even if it were, failure to wear seat belts was at the time not an offense they could pull you over for, it was only an additional charge. Whole thing was just a fishing expedition. Took all my self restraint not to tell the cop I was going to have his badge for that bullshit.

Oh yes.
I live in Marion (in college now), and in high school, I had a teacher who got a ticket for going 3 over.
U Heights cops doing that makes sense (though the tailgating is better on their side of the bridge now, which is weird)
but Marion isn’t the size of U Heights, and they have always been that way.

If you've ever been pulled over for a speeding ticket,
your license plate is getting run. While the officer is at it, he’s checking your license to see if you have any outstanding warrants against you.

I think the issue is that the guy checked his plates for no apparent reason

by clay-born to party on Dec 21, 2011 12:17 PM CST up reply actions
Exactly
Of course they run your plates/check your ID once you’ve been pulled over for another offense. The issue here is that the cop ran the plates while tailing him for no apparent reason. Which raises a big red flag in my book.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Yeah, running plates without any cause (i.e. you're not pulled over)
just seems like unreasonable search to me.

It doesn't run afoul of the 4th Amendment
whether it should, however, is an entirely different question
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
I've heard stories
of cops volunteering to wait near houses of people with warrants or barred licenses (if they’ve heard they are often driving).
And anymore, running somebody’s plate at a traffic stop is just a way to help protect yourself. Running it while the person is driving is kind of troubling, but I’m sure it happens way more than we think, and not just to black folks.
No part of this whole story angers me more than the god-damned camera SUV that CR puts out on the highways to ticket you via camera. That is the real epidemic that plagues us.

Where are you getting this info about a “statement”. Its been reported by MasCasa that Johnson County Attorney Janet Lyness has already stated that “her office isn’t investigating” anything surrounding Coker.
There’s nothing in any media outlets about a supposed “attorney statement” coming out today.
by FlyingDutchman1 on Dec 21, 2011 1:35 PM CST up reply actions
True
And there’s absolutely no indication that this is related to anything criminal. However, that doesn’t mean that the police aren’t investigating something that could possibly lead to an arrest. The CA wouldn’t be investigating anything unless the police give them reason to and because this happened so recently it’s up in the air.
I say this in general. The only people to say this is a criminal matter is the ever reliable KCJJ.
So aren't you - in a way - partially guilty
of doing the same thing you ripped Rob Howe for doing last week? Maybe “ripped” is the wrong word, but you go on him pretty good for re-tweeting an unsubstantiated rumor. Maybe there’s something more to this?

Also..UI President Sally Mason has been made aware of the situation surrounding the suspension and has also stated that she agreed with it.
So..if the UI President has been involved in the loop here—that makes me believe that there is some academic issue going on here.

If he tried to cheat because he was behind, and got caught... I don't have a problem with it if he forfeits those classes and has to make up the work or change majors or whatever (gets treated like a regular student)
but, because of our history with bad things happening, I’m just hoping there wasn’t a big conspiracy to cheat with a network of people.
I don’t want Iowa to have to deal with that kind of shit. I’ve had enough after last year’s drug house/rhabdo things. It’s all so draining.

It’s a start I guess. And while Brian Ferentz never coached at Iowa and isn’t really part of the KF tree, he’s doing well at New England. At least that’s decent pub since he’s a former Iowa player.

That.
Chig probably isn’t perfect, but it would be rather difficult for him to know if players are doing drugs on their own time when they are passing the testing regimen in place.
Also, I don’t think DJK was telling Ejiasi or the other coaches that his room-mate was/is a drug-dealer. And I doubt Wegher was telling him about his multiple baby-mamas-to-be.

It's his job to know.
It’s also worth knowing that it’s not exactly a secret in Iowa City. When it all went down, my graduate school classmates who attended UI for undergrad were all like, “oh yeah that guy is a huge dealer.”
If we know, he should know. How about a rule that players can only live with other players? At least then the known unkonwns are limited. It’s just such a slip shod operation.

I'm okay with that type of rule.
But it seems to have been a rule that pisses off some players (Wegher, etc).
And just because other undergrads knew that about Brady Johnson, doesn’t necessarily mean that an actual adult, who isn’t into the drug scene, will know it. I’m trying to remember if Johnson had priors, or not.
I think it would be kind of difficult to have a decent football team if Chig was going into full police-state mode. And plenty of people on these message boards/threads would bitch about it to no end.

Could be finding out who Iowa’s new DC here today or tomorrow…
by FlyingDutchman1 on Dec 21, 2011 1:39 PM CST reply actions
I'll repost from above
Interesting
after going from "no posting" and thus needing at least two weeks until its official, now all of a sudden we may find out earlier.
Guess I should be glad that KF and the SID office are being a bit more proactive in not letting the news cycle get away from them
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
My reading between lines: other B1G schools are using against them in recruiting, need to put that shit to rest. Of course, it’ll be very anticlimactic when it’s Phil Parker, but there you go.
Agreed
Between the lack of a DC being named and the silly KF to KC talk since Todd Haley was fired, teams had a lot of ammo to use against Iowa in recruiting, even during a no-contact period. Hopefully KF’s statement and a possible naming of a DC in the next day or two kills that negative crap.
Too bad it’s working this way – in an ideal world, I don’t think it’s crazy to believe that KF would want to wait until after the bowl game to announce the new DC in an attempt to give Norm the proper amount of attention and respect he deserves after 13 years. However, the short- and long-term health of the program trumps KF’s wish to give Norm his due (which is honestly too bad, but it is what it is).
Comedy is where the mind goes to tickle itself.
Ugh. I hate this.
Also, please never use the phrase “it is what it is” (or “perfect storm” for that matter) ever again-ish. Please.

Can I still say "shitstorm" and/or "clusterfuck"
The may be overused, but I think they both describe recent events pretty well.

Yes.
But avoid “the new normal.”

The 2-week thing is meaningless.
There are ways to get around that.
Someone pointed out that Campbell was technically named an “interim” coach for the first two weeks of his tenure, which sounds correct now that I think about it.
The longer this goes on the more I think it might actually be an outside candidate.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
This is my feeling as well.
If you knew already, you’d likely saw something right around the time Norm left. This is a done deal with someone, and I must still wonder if the fact that a certain M Stoops hasn’t been signed by anyone else yet is significant.
Or not.

If anything, with Coach K leaving, wouldn't it more likely by Aiken?
Coming back to be DC and cover DL?

Was thinking the same thing today
Still a real long shot, but certainly more of a possibility
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Yep.
If it was a Norm-to-Phil transition, you’d think they’d have been happy to do all of that at one presser.

Yeah.
If it was a current coach (PSU, etc?), perhaps he took the job but asked to not have it announced until his team finished their season. That same issue kind of irks me about Kaz.

Yes, I'm joking, but
what if it’s Bob Stoops? That would be awkward (it might explain the attrition), but funny and fun.

What happened?
My wife and I have a baby boy, Nolan, on the 19th (hooray, another Hawkeye!) and we’ve been a little busy. I’m finally getting caught up and BAM! I get blindsided by all this news. New baby (yeah!), Iowa RBs leading up to bowl games (boo!).
"Hardcore will never die, but you will."
Congrats!
If you read this, you know about as much as anyone here. People thought Coker’s suspension might be academic-related yesterday, but certainly not criminal. Now, who knows? Violation of athletic code of conduct is pretty vague. Wait and see, I guess.
Oooh congratulations!!
Fortunately, the bowl game doesn’t kick off until, what, 9:00 pm central or something? Since you won’t be sleeping for the next 6 months, you’ll be plenty awake to watch. I kid – your own children are awesome (now – other people’s children, not as much) and, eventually they turn 1 and become a lot more interesting.
Thanks!
It was pretty exciting doing the home birth and mom and babe are great. All my family back in Iowa were more than happy to see Nolan sporting his hawkeye cap. Pretty amazing/terrifying/puzzling/fun.
"Hardcore will never die, but you will."
You, good sir, hit that nail on the head.
Amazing/terrifying. I couldn’t believe those idiots at the hospital were letting me take a baby home. What were they thinking? As it was explained to me later, babies are a lot tougher than you think. Again, congratulations and best wishes.
If you are willing,
may I ask what made you go with the birth at home?

Calm and peace.
The midwives are so welcoming and caring, having a baby felt like a joy, not a disease (as it sometimes feels per friend’s experiences at hospitals). Being at home just felt right and it turned out perfectly. I’d suggest it to anyone. Plus we had a low risk pregnancy and who doesn’t want a water birth?!? Oh, and way cheap and much, much less likely a chance for complications. And we’re in Chicago and we don’t have a local doctor/clinic that doesn’t treat you like you’re in an assembly line or any family and the midwives feel like family. And lastly, one of our midwives is originally from Iowa City. And that matters…
"Hardcore will never die, but you will."

dochterman just published a piece
That says the police is not investigating coker. Can someone plz post link?
seriously?
by PSD on Dec 21, 2011 3:57 PM CST via mobile reply actions
right, that's UI police
rjfoley Ryan J. Foley
Also worth noting: @uiowa spokesman won’t say whether Coker’s misconduct was Class I or Class II (huge difference) and whether he appealed
rjfoley Ryan J. Foley
Iowa police chief says they aren’t investigating Coker; regent Downer says he hasn’t been briefed; head of UI pres comm on athletics unaware
here’s some twitters
seriously?
So, if he were to appeal his suspension
does that mean that he could participate in the bowl game while his case is reviewed, and would, potentially, serve out his suspension next fall for the first game or two?
This assumes that his case isn’t cut and dry, and an obvious reason for suspension that wouldn’t take 30 seconds to review. I am certainly not advocating some underhanded way to get around the suspension. But without knowing the reason for the suspension (or the policy regarding reviewing it), its something to think about.

What's with the "?"
It’s just FACTS. Read my link which has nothing to do with the thing I’m arguing with you about.
This isn't the NFL...
Even if Coker were to appeal..the suspension would remain in place until the appeal was heard.
The only way you could get this suspension lifted is by going to court and having a judge order an injunction lifting the suspension.
In that HIGHLY UNLIKELY scenario—you’d see Iowa simply take Coker to the bowl..and then not play him.
So..no natter which way you cut it…Coker isn’t playing in the Insight Bowl unless Iowa were to lift this suspension.
by FlyingDutchman1 on Dec 21, 2011 4:56 PM CST up reply actions
Even if he appeals this isn't a court of law
meaning he is suspended and if he wins the appeal so be it. That is how academic appeals work. The decision is in place until it isn’t.

I sense this Coker thing to be an academic dishonesty issue
and that does not necessarily mean he plagiarized a paper either. Academic dishonesty comes in many forms. And, he might not have realized that what he was doing fell under academic dishonesty. That is my sense, after hearing from Sally.

Would also explain some of the rumored in-team reactions
namely, they they thought it was strait bullshit and trumped up
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
If it is something as simple as
Coker getting help from some “friends” on work, and then not being able to do that work on a test, then a bowl game suspension does seem pretty severe.
On the other hand, it is nice to feel like Iowa will hopefully never repeat the Clem Haskins Plan for Student Improvement.

It just doesn't sound to me like bad final grade...
but if he is taking science courses that mucks up the works. Why? Because often science classes have finals that represent an enormous percentage of the overall grade. Screw the pooch on that and you could have a midterm A that becomes an F. in most classes you (and the tutors and the athletic dept. for that matter) see midterm grades and can intervene to prevent wholesale implosion.
But maybe we’re all wrong. Maybe he signed in someone to something that he should not have or vice versa. It does not appear to be related to any sort of criminal activity so it must be purely academic or in-house rules were broken.

Hawk Talk has started
RT @RSuchomel: Per Ferentz show, Mika’il McCall won’t make trip to Tempe, Ariz.
RT @HawkeyeInsider: Ferentz said “they will live” with decision to suspend Coker. Didn’t sound like he had much say.
seriously?
RT @RSuchomel: Ferentz did not expand on why Coker is suspended, nor give a timetable for when he may return to team.
seriously?
RT @RSuchomel: Ferentz mentioned every healthy, non-suspended RB, plus FB Brad Rogers, as possibilities to get carries.
seriously?
Oh boy
every healthy, non-suspended RB, plus FB Brad Rogers
Why am I reading that as, “Brad Rogers. Until he spontaneously combusts”

I could sign on to this plan if you back it up with three McNutt TDs before the fourth quarter.
