Investigation finds evidence, Mike Babcock OUT in Columbus
On Wednesday morning the crew of Spittin' Chiclets Podcast brought to light some allegations against Mike Babcock. According to the podcast Babcock had been asking players to see the photos on their phone on a way to "get to know the players".
While some on the team reportedly felt that there was no issue with this practice, others on team reportedly weren't as according. Now today it seems Mike Babcock is OUT as the Blue Jackets head coach.
Sources say #CBJ and Mike Babcock are indeed parting ways.
Investigation by #NHLPA left no path for Babcock to continue as coach. Much of last 24-48 hours was spent negotiating his exit.
Strong message sent: Treat all players with respect, as you would in any proper workplace.
This is still a developing story, but it appears that there was enough evidence to prove this was not just what Babcock wanted fans to think.
