LaSalle basektball head coaches in charge of men's and women's teams hand in their resignations after two separate rape investigations involving players on the men's team. No decisions on replacements until next week. Statement in philly.com story from Connie Clery, co-founder of Security on Campus, Inc. refers to "justice for the victims."
