Whoever runs that 'Restore Our Tradition' Facebook page usually doesn't do it for me, but they take the cake with...
"Never Stop Exposing"
Sad news, but that's a hell of a one-liner.
Something ain't right here though, you don't go from up-and-coming college coach to suddenly dragging your junk and jewels down a suburban walking path. He picked a nice path though...

This is also one of the first times that a news story was broken to me by them. They are usually a day late from when a board member here finds out. |

So three possibilities here and two are real bad. Don't love those odds.

Very sad and disappointing news. Somehow hope it isn't accurate.

I am mildly curious and a little disappointed about the easy rollout material for next season.

You know what's sad, how the so called fans are making a joke of a situation that directly affects his life. It was ok when he scoring baskets and representing himself, family, team and university with class. It's all been negative responses and assuming guilt because someone saw a guy taking piss in a wooded area became scared and startled as he came out of the wooded area. But what else is new? Guilty until proven innocent in your eyes of one our what I thought was Lasallle family! Sad!!!

We dont know the facts.I have handled thousands of cases in my career and many of them are what they first seem-but MANY are NOT! Doug is a well respected member of the community. We dont know anything about the accuser. He could have been relieving himself. A bee may have stung him.Maybe he has a "problem" and needs counseling.Above all, he is not accused of a serious, substantive offense. Time to rally around him. Lets all say a prayer for him. Hundreds of folks would be a character witness for him. A little law: Good character evidence alone can create reasonable doubt.

I agree with Screamers words of wisdom. Doug is part of our family. Let's wish him the best.

Doug's attorney has called the charges "preposterous" this morning, and the story-line his camp is pushing is that he was peeing on the side of the trail while walking his dog. That's a far cry from the narrative released yesterday.

From the accounts I've read, it sounds like he was merely taking a leak in the bushes next to a walking trail. If that's case, it's no surprise a few people decided to blow this all out of proportion. What do they care if they ruin someone's life?
And to the one woman who claimed, "He was looking at ME while he was 'holding himself'." ....You're flattering yourself....he had to take a leak.

I get we've got a certain affiliation with Overton due to association, but you can't responsibly use a blanket denial for the charges because Overton's attorney denied it and said otherwise - like every other responsible lawyer would do. It could be false, it could be true, or it could be a combination. Believing Overton simply because he said "Nope, didn't happen" isn't responsible until we know more facts and the process plays itself out. But in all my years in law enforcement, people who are taking a leak on the side of a trail (regardless of how oblivious they are) don't accidentally get arrested. |

And if this were our mom or sister or wife or daughter and she were accusing Not Doug Overton we wouldn't be rushing to ascribe their motives or make up bee stories, right? Maybe he was peeing. Hopefully he was peeing. But ... maybe lets stop short of HE WAS DEFINITELY PEEING.

Yo, people make jokes about stuff on the internet. No one here should be getting upset by that because he played for La Salle. If you wouldn't be saying "Now's not the time for jokes" if it was a St. Joe's player, you shouldn't be saying it now.
Maybe its true, maybe it's not. But like, people are gonna make jokes. It's to be expected.

100% right unless the person accusing also went to La Salle? Think you are missing Bobby and KJ's point. The story hasn't fully developed to where we have actual proven facts from both sides. The point is that the reflexive action of mocking one of our own and making fun of a pretty serious circumstance that could have an impact on his life and career without knowing all of the facts is pretty shitty. |

The point is that the reflexive action of mocking one of our own and making fun of a pretty serious circumstance that could have an impact on his life and career without knowing all of the facts is pretty shitty. Absolutely not missing the point and I agree. You can see my first statement above; it wasn't the usual sarcasm and it certainly wasn't assumption of guilt, but it also wasn't a defense, and that's all for a reason. I don't know Overton just as much as I don't know any other former college basketball player or most any other person in the world. Circling the wagons and reflexively defending or absolving someone because he used to score baskets for us is no better than mocking it away or convicting him. If you know Doug personally, by all means this is a different situation. If your sole reason for defending him and questioning the accuser(s) is because he's a La Salle basketball alum, that strikes me as a serious problem. |

And to the one woman who claimed, "He was looking at ME while he was 'holding himself'." ....You're flattering yourself....he had to take a leak. I'd start walking away from this statement as quick as possible... One of the witnesses was a man, so I don't think your angle of female self-importance is fair or appropriate. Update from the Delco Times: A male witness told police the subject was walking toward him with his penis fully out of his pants. He was described by the witness as walking “calmly and deliberately” and seemed to be aware that he was exposing himself but “seemed content with the situation,” police reported. www.delcotimes.com/sports/20170502/ex-la-salle-star-sixers-player-college-coach-doug-overton-charged-with-indecent-exposure-in-lower-merionLate edit - I'm ticked that you even thought this statement was appropriate simply because of La Salle loyalty. It's such a blindly sexist comment. |

I saw the story on the news and they used the word "alleged" but you are right... people jump to the GUILTY conclusion. I would hope he was just taking a leak in the woods. |
