Sexual Assault Lawsuit

Latest comment: 22 days ago4 comments3 people in discussion

I hadn't heard of this before just today, but it appears Rick Brunson was accused of sexual assault, and subsequently acquitted. This seems like it would be worthy of inclusion?

Yes, he was acquitted - something that the article failed to note, entirely improperly. . I'm unconvinced that this merits discussion in the article at all, given the acquittal. AndyTheGrump (talk) 08:55, 15 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

There's a few incidents / allegations that deserve mention, even if also mentioning he was acquitted PistonsFan2223 (talk) 14:31, 7 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Nothing goes in without adequate sourcing. If you have such sources, we can discuss adding content. Note though that biographies aren't an indiscriminate dumping ground for whatever negative (or positive) information can be found. Brunson is notable for his career in basketball, and not for 'incidents' and 'allegations'. AndyTheGrump (talk) 10:01, 9 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
