Trial Starts in LaSalle Scandal: The attorneys for former LaSalle basketball players Gary Neal and Michael Cleaves contend that the two men are innocent of rape charges levied by a LaSalle basketball camp counselor, and that the incident was with her consent. The woman, then 19, was a University of New Haven women’s player who was working as a counselor for the women’s summer basketball camp on LaSalle’s campus. She claims she was raped by both men after drinking several shots of alcohol in a LaSalle campus apartment in June of 2004. The LaSalle campus was rocked by the allegations, along with a separate claim that another female player was raped by a third Explorers team member, leading to the resignations of men’s head coach Billy Hahn, and women’s head coach John Miller.
