"New Pitt coach Mike Haywood is jailed on a domestic violence charge after a struggle at his South Bend home.

Assistant St. Joseph County Police Chief Bill Redman says Haywood was arrested about 3 p.m. Friday after a custody issue developed with a woman with whom Haywood has a child. The unidentified woman told police that Haywood grabbed her by the arm and neck and pushed her as she tried to leave.

Redman says the woman had marks on her neck, arms and back.

Haywood will be held without bond in the St. Joseph County jail until he goes before a judge. Redman says that might occur over the weekend, but no later than Monday.

Pittsburgh hired Haywood on Dec. 16 to replace Dave Wannstedt, who resigned under pressure. Haywood led Miami (Ohio) to a 9-4 record this season and the Mid-American Conference championship."

A+ hire??

[abababa]

They better hope he didn't sign his contract yet.

[SANJAY]

Steve pederson should never have been rehired. Both he and Haywood should be fired.

Price Alabama...contract signed?

[JuicedBull]

Pitt should just cancel their program.

[79 Bull]

There must be an out clause in his contract if he is arrested or found guilty of a crime??  Pitt will reopen the search tomorrow.

Everybody should just wait until all the facts come out. It might have been a simple misunderstanding. She might have slipped out of the kitchen and landed on his fist.

What's with the Big East and abusive coaches?  First Jim Leavitt slaps a student-athlete, and now this clown choke slams his babymama.. What ever happened to the John Wooden style coaches that motivate through words and not fear?

[commbull]

This would be a very bad example to the team re. behavior toward women.
