Kevin O'Neill in Drunken Altercation with Arizona Fans & Booster (Updated)

[Ptah]

Kevin O'Neill went on a drunken tirade along with his wife after beating Cal yesterday.
In fact, he didn't even change his suit and went straight to the JW Marriott lobby bar.

PointGuardU's sources have indicated that USC head coach Kevin O'Neill and his wife were
drunkenly escorted away from their hotel after getting into verbal and physical altercations
with Arizona fans on Thursday night.

O'Neill and his wife were in a hotel lobby of the JW Marriott and visibly intoxicated when
they exchanged words with a group of Arizona fans. O'Neill reportedly threatened the fan
that USC was going to “beat the hell out of Arizona.” Words were exchanged and our sources
say that O'Neill's wife struck one of the Arizona fans. O'Neill and his wife were escorted
out of the hotel, and Arizona fans were left wondering what just happened.

USC suspended Trojans basketball coach Kevin O'Neill for tonight's USC-Arizona game
and the rest of the Pac-10 Tournament after an incident Thursday night with a UA booster.

USC athletic director Pat Haden said assistant coach Bob Cantu would coach the Trojans
tonight, after meeting with O'Neill and others with knowledge of the incident. He said
O'Neill would have an additional penalty that would remain private.

"Coach O'Neill was remorseful and apologetic and accepted responsibility for his actions,"
Haden said in a statement. "He understood that his actions were unacceptable and that
they reflect poorly on him, his team and USC. We hold our coaches to very high standards,
as they are role models to the student-athletes they lead. Clearly, Coach O'Neill used
poor judgment and failed in this situation.

"Coach O'Neill is a good man and an outstanding basketball coach. He made a bad decision
in this instance and is now suffering the consequences.

2. I bet that booster was a major asshole...then again, O'Neill should not have

been out drinking...nice way to set an example for your players...sounds like he's been hanging out with Lane Kiffin.
