Insisting the Colorado football program does not condone sexual misconduct, suspended coach Gary Barnett said yesterday there was "no question" there was misbehavior at a 2001 party at the center of a rape scandal — but everyone at the gathering shared the blame. The Associated Press Barnett, questioned for nearly five hours by a panel investigating recruiting practices at Colorado, said there were 10 people at the off-campus party, including four football athletes. All of them lost their scholarships afterward and were charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor for providing alcohol. sions and under the influence of alcohol." "There is no question in my mind that inappropriate behavior occurred," Barnett said. "There is no question that the behavior of the 10 young people involved was the result of their own poor deci- recruits; a third said she was assaulted in a dorm r o o m shortly Two women content they raped at the party by players or afterward. They are suing in federal court, seeking unspecified damages for what they say was the school's failure to rein in athletes and provide equal protection to women. At least eight women since 1997 have accused Colorado football athletes of rape though no charges have been filed. Separate probes are under way by the state attorney general and university. Barnett's testimony was the most dramatic yet before the Board of Regents' panel investigating whether Colorado uses sex and alcohol to entice recruits. The panel voted to ask for more time to complete its work, meaning a report wouldn't come out until the end of May. Barnett, occasionally raising his voice, said he feels responsible for his players' performance on the field as well as their behavior in the community. But he said there is only so much he can do. "I have 48 that I have held accountable over the last five years. I can't live their lives for them."he said. Barnett was put on paid leave for comments he made about two of the alleged rape cases, including that of Katie Hnida, a former kicker who said she was raped by a teammate in 2000. He called her an "awful" player as he answered questions about why she left Colorado to later enroll at New Mexico Barnett waded into the controversy again, telling the panel he spoke with Hnida's friends, former teammates and a rape counselor who spent time with the young woman, and that none heard her talk about harassment or assault. "I couldn't find anybody to substantiate one single claim and I was looking to substantiate it," Barnett said. He repeated his belief that Hnida wasn't a good player, but said he wanted her on the team to give her a chance of fulfilling her dream of playing college football. Barnett said he hoped her presence would help his players learn more about women, and prompt them to behave. A few hours before Barnett spoke, the panel released a March 30 e-mail from Dr. David Hnida, the woman's father and an Army surgeon now in Iraq. Hnida said Barnett and other university officials must have known about sexual harassment problems his daughter was having at Colorado before she left. He also said his daughter would be willing to speak to the panel. NBA ruling keeps guard from record The Associated Press ATLANTA — Bob Sura didn't make any pretense about it. Urged on by his teammates in a blowout game, the Atlanta Hawks' journeyman guard intentionally missed a layup just before the buzzer so he could get the rebound and make his small mark in history. Sura was trying to become the first NBA player in seven years with three straight triple-doubles. The game was essentially over. What the heck? The NBA didn't see it that way. Less than 24 hours after Sura's bit of self-gratification, the league ruled Tuesday that he wouldn't be rewarded for intentionally missing a shot. The field goal attempt was taken away, which wiped out the rebound. Sura was left with 22 points,11 assists and nine rebounds — not 10 — in the Hawks' 129-107 victory against the New Jersey Nets on Monday night. So much for attempt to turn my third triple-double caused so much controversy," he said. "It was never my intention to make a mockery of so much for having three straight games with double figures in scoring, rebounding and assists — a feat last accomplished by Grant Hill in 1997. After flying to Boston for Atlanta's regular-season finale last night, Sura issued a statement through a team spokesman. "I'm disappointed that my our sport and to take any attention away from our huge win over the Nets. If anyone was offended by my actions, I sincerely apologize." Michael Sachs, a sports psychologist at Temple University, praised Sura for apologizing and the NBA for striking the shady accomplishment from the record books. "It's a good sign that this it not something we just accept as a matter of course," Sachs said. "There's still sportsmanship involved. There's still a sense of fair play and doing things the right way that people are concerned about." But Bob Troutwine, a personnel and coaching consultant for several pro football teams, said it's not necessarily harmful when players focus on personal achievements. In fact, he said it can be good for the psyche of the whole team — especially a team such as the Hawks, which will miss the playoffs for the fifth year in a row.
