February 27th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources reports Nicholas Slater of Glendale, Ariz. was found guilty following a trial on Feb. 12th, 2018, for charges related to poaching a whitetail deer. The poaching incident occurred at Lake Manawa State Park in Council Bluffs on Nov. 19, 2016.  Slater was found guilty on seven charges, including hunting on a game refuge, not having a valid nonresident hunting license and habitat fee, not having a valid deer tag (either antlerless or antlered/anysex), and illegal taking, transporting and possession of deer.

The total fines for Slater are $7,061.95, which includes court-imposed civil damages for the reimbursement of the deer. In addition, Slater will have his hunting privileges suspended for three years in Iowa and the Interstate Wildlife Violator’s Compact as a result of the conviction. The Iowa DNR was assisted by the Arizona Game and Fish Department with the investigation.

Colorado State basketball coach Larry Eustachy to resign

Sports

February 26th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — Larry Eustachy has agreed to step down as men’s basketball coach at Colorado State, ending a “climate assessment” of the program led by athletic director Joe Parker. Eustachy agreed to resign and amend his contract, which will now pay him $750,000 in three installments over the next two years. He’ll remain on paid leave until June 30, at which time he’ll formally resign, the university announced Monday. The assistant coaching staff will be retained through the end of June.

Eustachy’s decision to resign and amend his contract means there will be no conclusions or recommendations associated with Parker’s investigation into Eustachy’s behavior and interactions with players and staff, the school said.
Parker has not divulged what prompted the investigation.

Eustachy was in his sixth season at Colorado State, which first looked into his behavior in 2013-14 when Jack Graham was athletic director. That investigation determined Eustachy emotionally and verbally abused his players and created an atmosphere of fear and intimidation, but he retained his job.

In a statement Monday, Eustachy said he was honored and thankful to serve as the Rams’ coach but added, “At the end of the day, it is time for me to step aside and allow Colorado State to open a new chapter of Rams basketball. Likewise, this also gives me a chance to hit the reset button and then put all my energy into future opportunities.”

Eustachy was 122-79 at CSU and is 524-337 in 27 seasons at Colorado State, Southern Mississippi, Iowa State, Utah State and Idaho. His best season was 1999-2000, when Eustachy had Jamaal Tinsley and Marcus Fizer running the show and helping Iowa State to a 32-5 record, along with a spot in the Elite Eight. For that, Eustachy was named AP coach of the year. Shortly after his resignation at Iowa State in 2003, Eustachy went into rehabilitation to treat alcoholism.

Agents search Iowa AAU coach’s cabin in nude videos case

News, Sports

February 26th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

DELHI, Iowa (AP) — Investigators have seized a trove of electronic devices from a northeastern Iowa cabin owned by a prominent youth basketball coach under investigation for allegedly making videos of naked boys. Greg Stephen, co-director of the Iowa Barnstormers, left the traveling youth organization Thursday after agents searched his Monticello home.

Newly available documents show agents also searched a cabin in a recreation area near Lake Delhi. Investigators say Stephen occasionally spent weekends there and used it for summertime group gatherings with players. Agents seized smartphones, tablets, flip phones, hard drives, thumb drives, memory cards and digital video cassettes.

Stephen hasn’t been charged and his father says he’s done nothing wrong. The searches came after a source gave police a device from Stephen’s home that contained video clips of underage males disrobing in a hotel bathroom.

Several Barnstormers players have gone on to play Division I college basketball.
