One question I have...

If Officer Martin was struck and witnessed this incident first hand then why didn't he file this report or give any input? The report doesn't seem to include any first hand accounts by Martin or any witnesses.

Regardless, if true, not a good look for Rhody hoops.

Another point I would like to make

for those whom have ever been at the open practice. At the end the team circles up and gives the 123 family. All of you are questioning Coach Boswells morals and values here..

I for one could not be prouder of this coach. As a coach, I preach for my team to have each others back and that includes me theirs and them mine. Every player we sign sites the family atmosphere this team has. So coach goes to the aid of players who are in trouble. FIRE HIM IF HE DOESN'T. Gets arrested for essentially swearing, however what happens if he is not there. We may be looking at a worse situation. Question him cause he says he was a custodian. Why cause he knows this arrest is going to be looked at by some people as mark on the program. My timing my be off. (it isn't) We had a guard from Penn on campus for that concert. Did he sign. Yes Why cause he liked the coaches and the players and how this team is a family. Wonder if a coach putting his career, name and everything on the line to save his players had something to do with that.

As far as those on this board saying the players were drunk and out to late. Give me a break. one you don't know if they were drunk. And two if they were then they must have been the only one drinking at the concert. (and Stan I know you are over 21 but you can't drink because this board says so)


These guys stuck together got out of a bad situation. My bet that plays off in March

As far as PC trolls thinking we stepped to your level. These RAMS. Did not sexually assault any woman, or beat up any fellow students. You can all go kick rocks. This is no where close to that. SEE YOU in December

Kingston is pretty spot on here. I'm much more embarrassed by the reaction of some of our posters to the police report than I am of anything Ty did. As we knew before we read the report, there was a commotion, Ty got involved to try to keep the player out of trouble, the cops overreacted and arrested him, he didn't want to be arrested and vocalized such preference, and at some point along the way Stan may have come into physical contact with a cop (allegedly); plus Ty showed he has a good sense of humor. The only thing we learned from the police report that is new is that Ty is funny and that the cop is long-winded. Ty's thing will likely be dismissed with some community service or something - this happens every weekend night in just about every city or town in the country. Obviously if you're URI you'd prefer to not have this in the media, but nothing that happened here is what any sane person would call a big deal.

only things i can agree with on about with tis post.

A. it's not a big deal

b. I would prefer Ty taking the arrest compared to SR. (eve this may have been more more the niceness/laziness of opens anything Boswell did)

c. I would not take any action with Stan Robinson basedo the supposed "Punch" at the very least.


But the rest of the points.

Lying to a cop ( I got arrested for obstructing justice charge at age 18 for doing something very similar). Is "Having a sense of humor"?

"He said Multiple time he did not want not be arrested" Only after repeated warnings of him to stop escalating the situation and after it became clear he was indeed going to get arrested.

Almost nobody knows what to say when you realize you're about to be arrested and being arrested isn't something you ever thought about because you're not a criminal.

Its like ah! Read tons of police reports and they always put what the person said and it usually isn't a balanced reaction to the realization that they're being arrested.

Just my 2 cents. I've read a bunch.

Kingston wrote:I have good knowledge of the incidents that lead to the team being in the bathroom at the concert.

There was an altercation at the concert between the basketball team and another group of men at the concert. The basketball team left the altercation and gathered in bathroom to avoid further conflict. I am high school teacher and had several students at the concert who all gave me the same report. As my students saw the team leave the floor one can only assume Coach Boswell saw the team leave also. Other wise how would he have ended up in that bathroom from the box seats. And as I read in the report Stan was upset about the incident and was angry in the bathroom. Why would a coach be there in the middle of all this. Maybe because his basketball family was in trouble. Think he was there telling the players to go out and fight. probably not. my guess is Stan get a hold of yourself. not worth it. so forth. Seems to me according to the report URI police were trying to disperse and not arrest. Officer Marler comes in late to the seen and makes arrest. Says he has trouble arresting Boswell so URI officer comes to his aid then lets go. I'm sure it very common to help an officer then leave him. Why did that officer stop helping office Marler? My guess not to comfortable with what was taking place. And you hear an officer was struck, not a lawyer but not sure how that stands in court.

my brother is a former police officer and I have the upmost respect for the men and women in blue. And I know its tough to judge when you are not there yourself. But a quick google search of officer Marler comes up with this. (IT WONT LET ME CUT AND PASTE)

http://www.ricentral.com/narragansett_t ... 60e15.html


Officer Marler gets in a physical arrest with a 60 special needs man which he slaps glasses off a face and maces as well as three close fists punches and a taser. This is after the neighbor tells you the man is special needs. In which you tell him not to do anything STUPID. By the way the offense is a speeding ticket. In which you find the man parked in this own driveway.
Hey Kingston, were you told who the 'other group of men' were? I've been told by 2 different sources who they were. I think if I heard it from a 3rd source, that would clinch it for me. If you don't think it's appropriate for the board until legal proceedings are finished, you can PM me your answer. Thanks.

If anyone's been in or near a brawl at an event of this size and type (alcohol/drugs) and possibly low lighting, its an absolute Sh*t show. That being said, I hope this ends soon, Stan the Man needs to be on the court.

I can tell you kids in school say all the guys were huge. The one student who is a URI fan said "Cyril is a beast. He broke it up. Some guys were as big as him. " By the events that were explained, i have ideas, But these are teenage students giving me a play by play. My guess is the basketball team will not be in providence this Saturday night.

So you were told the exact same thing I was. Same story from 3 totally different sources, including several who witnessed it first hand. That's good enough for me.

A certain group that by all accounts instigated the proceedings.

That might help lessen any team penalties handed out by Dan.

Conflicting reports. To this point have not heard anything indicating any URI football players were involved or even in the vicinity.

I do know that the 2 PC players that were there at the concert, were not involved or in the vicinity of the incident. TBH, it could just be random students from URI, PC, JWU, who knows. It was a concert that appeals to many college kids. It might get revealed, might not. But I agree with Kingston, to speculate who it was is wrong and unfair. I suggested football team more as a question because I didn't understand what message was trying relayed above. Not fair to drag anyone into it, whether it be PC basketball team or URI football team.

I think Kingston is giving Ty too much credit regarding protecting his players. I believe that was his initial intent. Once he was outside the bathroom, his behavior was unacceptable. He was no longer protecting the players and was inciting the crowd outside the bathroom. He was causing a bigger problem. I believe he was given two chances to stop and walk away before he was told he was being arrested. Let's stop blaming the cops.

I couldn't agree more. His job as a coach is to diffuse the situation, but according to the police report his behavior outside the bathroom just further provoked the crowd and escalated the situation. He's supposed to be the level-headed adult in the room, not the instigator. This is not a good representation of our basketball program or our University, especially by someone who's in a position of authority. The optics are not good here.

Was Ty's hearing this morning?

It wouldn't shock me if they made another arrest I guess...this is almost out of the news and heaven forbid a police department not pursue as much press coverage as possible. One thing I will say, though, based on the story someone posted earlier of the officer that arrested Ty beating a developmentally disabled man for speeding on his bike and now doing this glory-seeking stuff at the Ryan with Ty and Stan like he was trying out for the COPS tv show, I'm not sure this guy is fit to be policing the community.

I don't think he will be under oath - today wasn't a trial, there is no way this will ever go to trial, and even if it did I can't imagine his lawyer would let him testify. He has probably given a statement to police and been subject to questioning at this point, but you aren't "under oath" in those scenarios, and he should have had a lawyer present (PSA: never talk to police without a lawyer. I won't talk to a cop in line at Dunkin. If I had a cousin who was police, I wouldn't talk to him at Thanksgiving dinner unless my lawyer was there).

IF the Police were going to make any more arrests they would have happened by now. No need to worry about players getting arrested at this point.

The hearings will likely get continued perhaps a couple more times while they hash something out between the lawyers. Eventually Ty will get a small fine and some community service and it will be over.

Not far from the truth on some accords; there may be more arrests, specifically to a certain starter we loved during our spring run...

I feel like people saying that if there has been no arrest so far, there won't be one aren't that familiar with these kinds of investigations. In one sense, the longer it goes could mean it's a more serious charge or they're going after the charge more seriously - if they are lining up witnesses and taking statements, those things take time. Of course, the time that passes doesn't necessarily mean that charges will be forthcoming, because the witnesses could not give testimony that supports the charge they are going for. Or a million other things could be going on behind the scenes. Not really possible to say; the process is opaque by design. But no charges after a week or two does not necessarily mean you're out of the woods. And likely, if he is ever notified that he is out of the woods, the public won't be privy to that. I doubt the player will make any kind of statement acknowledging what happened, and I'm sure the team and school won't.

In one sense, the longer it goes could mean it's a more serious charge or they're going after the charge more seriously - if they are lining up witnesses and taking statements, those things take time.

Yeah but on Law & Order these things usually get wrapped up pretty quickly!
