INDIANAPOLIS -- Dolphins coach Joe Philbin is promising to change the culture inside Miamis locker room and make it a better workplace than the one that forced Jonathan Martin to leave the team last season. Nike Roshe Run Dyn FW uomo scarpe carbonio Ciano bianco . Philbin said Thursday he wants players to treat one another with civility and he wont tolerate anything less. In taking questions for the first time since Ted Wells released his report into the bullying scandal that rocked the league, Philbin made it clear things would be cleaned up. "We are going to do things about it. We are going to make it better. We are going to look at every avenue. We are going to uncover every stone, and we are going to have a better workplace," Philbin said at the NFL scouting combine. "Im going to make sure that happens." The changes have already begun. On Wednesday night, the Dolphins fired offensive line coach Jim Turner and longtime head athletic trainer Kevin ONeill for their roles in the scandal. While the timing seemed odd, on the eve of a six-day event where Miami and the leagues 31 other teams can interview and test draft hopefuls, Philbin said the Dolphins needed time to contemplate the reports findings and possible punitive actions. The Wells investigation found that guard Richie Incognito and two teammates engaged in persistent harassment of Martin, another offensive lineman and an assistant trainer. Martin left the team at midseason, and Incognito was suspended for the final eight games. Martin has said that the persistently vulgar language made him feel trapped. Wells determined that Turner didnt try to stop the harassment and even took part in some of the taunting of offensive lineman Andrew McDonald. The report said ONeill expressed hostility toward the investigation and cut short an interview with those conducting it, even though Philbin said he instructed everyone to tell the truth. Philbin, who said he was unaware of the bullying when it happened, said he found the details of the language his players used and their actions to be "inappropriate and unacceptable" and immediately helped Martin find medical treatment. "Im going to be more vigilant, Im going to be more diligent, Im going to be more visible and Im going to have a better pulse," Philbin told the biggest crowd of reporters to gather around a combine for a coach in recent memory. New general manager Dennis Hickey insists the team is making a concerted effort to change course. Hickey told reporters that he and Philbin have met with each department inside the organization to reinforce their goals, expectations and standards to create a more welcoming environment. "We want our organization to be a culture of respect," Hickey said. "We take this seriously and we want to set the standard around the league." What happens next is still unclear. Three weeks ago, team owner Stephen Ross said he did not expect Martin or Incognito to be back with the Dolphins next season. Philbin declined to comment specifically on either player except to say Ross and Martin were expected to meet soon and that he took immediate action when he learned of the allegations against Incognito. Hickey did not provide any additional insight and spoke mostly in generalities about building the best 53-man roster he could. Martins agent, Kenneth Zuckerman, has said he plans to meet with the Dolphins in Indy. The bigger question, however, may be whether the Dolphins reputation in the wake of the report could scare off free agents. "I think free agents will be attracted to who we are because we have a great coaching staff, you can live in Miami, we have a great owner who is committed to the product and weve got an environment that when you get in the building and meet the people, you get some sense of what the organization is about," Hickey said. The report found no evidence that Philbin was aware of abusive conduct within the team. But Philbin emphatically took responsibility to clean things up. "I have faith in our locker room, faith in the players that we have. I think we have an outstanding coaching staff," Philbin said. "Im confident in the direction, Im confident were going to make the changes necessary to improve the workplace at the Miami Dolphins complex and improve our football team."

Miami enters the fray having lost seven of its first 10 games. The RedHawks did manage to snap a six-game losing streak the last time out, taking down visiting Longwood in a 71-60 final. It was the first taste of victory for a Miami team that hadnt won since beating Liberty (63-52) on Nov. 22. Ohio State took a stellar 9-1 record in Saturdays showdown with North Carolina in Chicago, but coach Thad Mattas club came out on the short end of an 82-74 final. The setback put an end to the Buckeyes four-game win streak. Their only other loss came in a 64-55 final versus another ranked ACC foe in Louisville on Dec. 2. OSU has played nine of its first 11 games in Columbus, and this bout begins a stretch of four in a row at home, which includes a pair of Big Ten tussles against Iowa and Illinois. Ohio State owns a 5-2 series advantage over Miami, and the Buckeyes have won the last two meetings. The RedHawks last win in the series came on March 17, 1993 in the NIT, 63-56. Geovonie McKnight and Eric Washington scored 19 points apiece to propel Miami to its recent win over Longwood. The RedHawks led from the outset, and wound up hitting 45.1 percent of their field goal attempts, despite going 7-of-25 from 3-point range (.280). The team was outworked on the glass (38-27), but its defensive effort goaded the Lancers into 21 turnovers, off which the RedHawks scored 22 points. Miami had 15 steals in the game, with five each being credited to McKnight and Zach McCormick. Washington (13. adidas superstar 2.0 uomo. 1 ppg, 5.2 apg), McKnight (10.8 ppg) and Will Sullivan (10.0 ppg) are all averaging double digits for a Miami squad that is putting up 63.6 ppg behind typical shooting efforts of .436 overall, .360 from the perimeter, and .667 at the free-throw line. Defensively, the RedHawks permit 66.7 ppg, with foes converting 47.3 percent of their total shots. Miami comes up with fewer than 28 rebounds per tilt, sitting at -4.4 in rebounding margin, but it has done a nice job in forcing turnovers (15.4 per game). For the second time this season, Ohio State failed in its bid to win a battle of ranked teams, this time falling to North Carolina on a neutral floor. Poor shooting doomed the Buckeyes, as they hit the mark on only 34.7 percent of their field goal attempts, actually shooting nearly as well from beyond the arc (10-of-29, .345). Marc Loving scored 19 points, Sam Thompson had 17, DAngelo Russell 11 and Shannon Scott 10 to go with nine rebounds for OSU, which lost the battle on the boards, 53-40, while being outscored at the foul line, 21-14. Russell continues to lead Ohio State in scoring with his 17.4 ppg, the team as a whole generating 83.3 ppg behind shooting outputs of .516 overall, .408 from beyond the arc, and .726 at the charity stripe. The Buckeyes stout performance at the defensive end results in foes netting only 59.2 ppg, and the enemy has found it especially tough to both shoot (.386) and hold on to the basketball (18.5 turnovers per game). Loving (12.0 ppg) and Thompson (10.8 ppg, 4.4 rpg) round out the units double-digit scorers, while Scott (8.3 ppg, 7.9 apg, 2.8 spg) serves as one of the top floor generals in the country.
