Stunner: Wisconsin – La Crosse Chancellor Says Only That ‘Alleged Events’ Involving Swim Coach — Former Assistant to Accused Sex Criminal Greg Winslow — ‘Occurred at Another University’
March 7, 2013Utah, Arizona, Baltimore, Colorado Springs, USAS, NCAA, ASCA … No Matter the Venue or the Alphabet Soup, It’s Big Swimming and the Olympic Brand Under Siege
March 8, 2013
We’ve been pretty hard today on Charlie King, the former assistant swimming coach under Greg Winslow at the University of Utah, who is now the head guy at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. But sources on the Utes insist that this is unfair to King — who, as one swimmer who was coached by both men put it, “like so many others, was a victim of Greg Winslow.”
In case this assertion needs any bona fides — King was the assistant coach whose eye got blackened by a Winslow punch during a drunken rage. See the timeline of former swimmer Austin Fiascone (http://muchnick.net/fiasconetimeline.pdf), whose complaints to the Utah administration set in motion the campus Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action investigation of Winslow.
So I don’t intend to bother King any more about the incident with the swimmer in the extreme breath drill in Mexico. Still, that was one sorry-ass email from the chancellor of Wisconsin-La Crosse.
