Is it wrong or unreasonable for me to think that if he wants to clear his name he would grant an interview even through his attorney?

Thanks for posting this. Hopefully all the deniers and supporters of RB will take 4 minutes to watch this.

Hi, for clarity could you change the OP title to Rick Butler? I thought it was Butler U being investigated!

Thanks for posting this. Hopefully all the deniers and supporters of RB will take 4 minutes to watch this. Volleytalkers, we need to start putting our anger into action by calling and writing to AAU and USAV to protest Butler's membership! There is also a change.org page calling for Butler's ban that you should sign, showing your solidarity with these brave women.

@doppelganger and VT Five-0, please pin this thread to the homepage. This is a critical time for action, and this thread should not be allowed to fall into the abyss of page five and beyond. Thank you.

If you have read the notes that RB sent to these women, there would be no doubt. Classic grooming tactics.
I am just a little disappointed in the series, they really did not dig in depth into how he manipulated these women by abusing his authority as a coach for his own benefit.

And, frankly I really don't care if you're tired of this story.
I agree with you 100%..............last week when I posted a updated Butler chronology some Rickie supporters bitched about it. The more information posted about this Monster the better.

My heart aches for these women. The effects of abuse are long term, and they don't go away with time. And I am disgusted with his attempts through his lawyers to claim that he never abused anyone. Watch the video. Followed the link and signed the change.org petition. 3000 plus signatures so far. Please help them reach their goal of 5000, and show that you do not support sexual abuse of minors by coaches, or anyone!

Question - why are the other club director's, club & college coaches that are still coaching not brought forth on VT? Like the woman in the video said, it does not matter weather they were 16, or 18 or 20.

I am pleased a newspaper is spreading the information to the community. There is no way you can read the letters, hear the ladies testimonies, read his admission of having sex with them and come to any other conclusion. It blows my mind that local high school coaches went on record to support him because they never heard anything.
