It seems like who slapped the glasses off of whose face gets conflated in the retelling. The contemporaneous account is in the police report.

You mean the time he beat and bit a woman so bad that the cops were called and he was arrested on a felony domestic assault charge wasn't the first time!? Shocking.

I've been saying all along that there was no way this was the first time. It just doesn't start at that level, it escalates. 

Where did this post from AH1971 come from? This is totally hearsay, unsubstantiated bullish*t

I'm gonna need someone to verify if that's all true.

If so let's ride. 

She basically verified all of it as she later recanted the entire story. Maybe she felt guilty after she sobered up? I know that comment won't be popular with many on here, but once she changed the story what are we suppose to think?

You are right. Chris Beard got hammered, went home and stomped the sht out of his ex-fiance.  You are 100% correct. I hope all Beard backers will agree .

Now let's hire Chris Beard to be our coach. I prefer Pitino because I want to win big, real quick.  Then after he retires in 3 or 4 years, see who's out there. 

But most importantly,  Beard is a terrible man and he did it. 

See how easy that is. Everyone wins, including IU Mens Basketball.

If this is true then just hire the man.

All the haters on one side will point to the police report as proof. All the haters on the other side will point to the latest post as proof.

Unfortunately, we live in a post-truth society where BS and what-aboutism reigns supreme.

There is no point in debating or pontificating on this sh!t. Each tribe is going to pick their side and fight with the other tribe.

I think most were saying we don't know what happened, you cant just assume that Beard is a drunk wife beater like some guy in a typical Indiana trailer park.  That side never once in their body had any inclination that some other scenario could have happened other than Beard got drunk and attacked and bit his wife.  Just for them to see the above typed out even if we don't know if that's what happened is something they need to read and understand there's scenarios where it's not always the abusive drunk man.

Directly from a former Knight era player in the early to mid 70's who I see just about every other week at various basketball AAU events for our grandchildren. He did not say that Beard was or wasn't going to be hired, just that he was vetted by a search firm sometime in the last week or two and this was brought to light.

She did not recant her entire story.  She recanted one specific part of that story that was tied to the felony charge being pursued by prosecutors which involved strangling.  She only recanted that part of it, and admitted that she had a part in the altercation.

Beard didn't deny getting physical with her.  

The charges fell apart because of that and her unwillingness to cooperate which would have involved refiling the complaint with different charges, so they passed.

And as is more than obvious, he cut a deal with her, that he paid her in a confidential settlement should be obvious to everyone. Even without that, the pictures are horrible. Yeah, he’s a real class act

Oh I believe she was paid, but we don't know that.  They split immediately and were no longer together after that incident.

It's sad that the job at Indiana due to meddling, fan expectations, and the recent lack of success has us mired in these kind of hiring choices, but here we are.

I think this is a hard sell to a fanbase that's about half female, with Pam in charge, given that the entire Greek System is on shut down right now because of many abusive and gross things that have been done to women this year on campus.

But he's also had only two really good seasons in his career.  So this isn't like we would be getting Pitino.

Yeah, though I seriously doubt Beard was ever in actual consideration, after the RMK firing and Sampson, no way IU would hire this guy with this baggage. Anyone ignoring that is ignoring reality, coaching acumen notwithstanding

I can read, I refuse to get into these types of arguments. I don't know what happened, only Chris Beard and his girlfriend know for sure. All I know is the final story she told, would or should not of resulted in his arrest. Something physical happened that night, but she is now saying, she started it by slapping his glasses off his face and breaking them and anything physical he did to her was a result of him defending himself.

I cannot find where the pictures were ever released?

I recall some earlier but don’t remember well, then there were the very descriptive accounts of the bruising etc none of which was disputed.

You just commented about the horrible pictures, then this response?

Parroting at its finest to fit your narrative.

Yes she grabbed his reading glasses from his hand and threw them, and then stormed out.   He followed her to her bedroom and was offered another set of reading glasses to use, but instead decided to slap her glasses off her face and breaking them.  So she did break glasses, not quite in the same way.

The pictures and injuries are described in detail in the police report.  But i've never seen them.  Texas isn't as open with their legal system as Indiana is now, and it's hard to find this stuff if the media doesn't release it, which in this case, I don't believe they were released.

She stated she broke his glasses by taking his from his hand and throwing them before storming out of the room.  He followed her to her room and slapped the glasses from her face, breaking them, and leaving scratches and abrasions around her eye.   That's all part of the non denied part of the police report.  There are two sets of broken glasses, him a pair of readers, her prescription glasses that being broken made her unable to see.  

Without the choking it should have still resulted in his arrest, it was assault, he had no injuries, and she had injuries all over her body.  

I don't blame you for not wanting to do this, there is no good excuse for what he did, and you sound awful trying to defend it.  It was gross.  He's not a good enough coach to bother with even if you 1000 percent believe his story, he still sounds nuts and he's only been out of the second round twice in his career.  There are equal type candidates without this mess.

[RoadRage 3,012]

I don't know what happened, either Beard is getting exactly what he deserves or he is being falsely accused (yes it does happen). Regardless, Beard would totally divide an already badly fractured fanbase....I just hope we can get a very good coach that most, if not all of us can get behind.
