    Wow! They've done really well under that guy. I wonder if he punched him or just smacked him in the back of the head.

    The story itself is a month old. But today they finished the investigation. The accusation was that he hit/punched him in front of the team and then tried to intimidate him from reporting it.

    TAMPA, Fla. -- University of South Florida fired coach Jim Leavitt Friday morning for striking a player and subsequently lying to investigators, FanHouse has learned.

    USF fired the only coach the Bulls have had in the program's 13-year history following an investigation initiated after a FanHouse report that stated Leavitt grabbed sophomore walk on Joel Miller by the throat and hit the walk-on twice in the face Nov. 21 at halftime of the Louisville game.
