As shock jock Don Imus returns to the radio airwaves, Rutgers women's basketball coach C. Vivian Stringer says she is still angered by his racist and sexist comments during the Women's Final Four last March.
Imus is scheduled to return to radio Dec. 3 for the morning-drive slot on WABC-AM, based in New York.
After making the comments last April following Rutgers' appearance in the NCAA championship game, Imus became the target of heated protests. Despite making a public apology and another in the company of Stringer and the Scarlet Knights players that they accepted, he was fired shortly thereafter.
"We could have fallen into the same ditch that we all do and call him all these names and demand that he be fired and all these other things," said Stringer. "But I think that if he's sincere about his apologies and his remarks to our players, then we'll see a much-changed Imus."
Rutgers, ranked third in the ESPN/USA Today preseason coaches' poll, opens its season Nov. 11 at home against defending Pac-10 champion Stanford.
