  Syracuse basketball assistant coach Bernie Fine has been placed on administrative leave by the university after two former ball boys say they were abused by Fine.
  According to ESPN'S Outside The Lines the two men accuse Fine of abuse for over 10 years. Fine has been an assistant on the staff for over 30 years. The Syracuse Police have opened an investigation. The university said they investigated the incident in 2005 but heard conflicting reports from key witnesses. Head coach Jim Boeheim was never told about the alleged incidents. Boeheim, a friend and collegue of Fine, said the allegations were "a bunch of a thousand lies".
