Washington State athletic director Bill Moos said he and school president Kirk Schulz had a very pleasant conversation with the chief of the Pullman Police Department amid heightened friction between the football program and local authorities.The meeting with Chief Gary Jenkins came two days after football coach Mike Leach implied the police department was unfairly targeting football players. There have been three incidents in as many months involving WSU players and alleged assaults. Leach asserted that others were involved, not just football players, yet they were the ones facing public scrutiny.Moos said much of the conversation with Jenkins focused on how the two sides could improve communication, but they did address Leachs concerns.Some of it was based on Mike Leachs comments, but not in a contentious way, Moos said. It was something that generated some talking points in regards to our football guys and some of the problems weve had, how theyve been involved and if they were the only ones involved, which they are not.While the university has its own on-campus police department, Jenkins said three-quarters of the students are off campus, which falls under the Pullman PDs jurisdiction. Jenkins department has a lot of interaction with students and athletes.It was a very positive meeting, Jenkins said. We talked about some of the recent incidents that have occurred involving student-athletes and other student behavior. We talked about some communication issues that weve had between our agency and the university, and for the most part thats been good. ... We listened to each others concerns, and I think were all on the same page.Leach did not attend the meeting, though Moos said he would not be surprised if Jenkins and Leach got together soon.Leach made his statements after practice Tuesday after news broke that linebacker Logan Tago had been arrested Monday on suspicion of robbery and assault. The same day, Pullman police recommended that safety Shalom Luani be charged with second-degree assault stemming from an incident in August. Police are also still investigating whether multiple football players were involved in a fight at a house party in July.According to a report from the Spokesman-Review, starting nose tackle Robert Barber has been expelled from the university following a school investigation into the July fight.If the other guilty parties are not accused or charged, there needs to be an extensive investigation as to why, Leach said Tuesday. How in the world can only football parties be guilty in events depicted like this? It is irresponsible to this town, this community and everybody to have some kind of a double standard where we only focus on one demographic, one group of people, and then drag their name through the newspaper with a bunch of irresponsible comments.Moos told ESPN on Wednesday: I stand behind Mike and his feelings and his desire to protect players when they are accused of things, and there may be in fact more to the story.The 0-2 Cougars host Idaho on Saturday in their final nonconference game.
