Video: Syracuse fires coach Bernie Fine

>>> as you may know college sports has been rocked by yet another scandal involving allegations of sexual abuse . syracuse university fired its long time assistant basketball coach after three men accused him of molestation back in the '70s and '80s. our report tonight from nbc's jay gray.

>> reporter: bernie fine has helped lead the syracuse orangemen to ncaa victories for more than 30 years. his plaque hanged in the syracuse basketball hall of fame , but fine was fired this week following allegations he sexually assaulted at least three boys. one of his alleged victims spoke to espn .

>> he started trying to touch me and things like that, you know. honestly, i don't remember if i, um, thought that was what was supposed to happen, you know? i know i cringed up and didn't want it to happen.

>> reporter: bobby davis and his step- brother mike lang said the abuse started in the '80s. davis said he recorded a phone call in 2002 with fine's wife laurie which espn aired this weekend.

>> i know everything that went on. you know, i know everything that went on with him. bernie has issues. maybe that he's not aware of but he has issues.

>> reporter: why espn waited ten years to air the tape is unclear. the network didn't respond to our request for comment. in 2005 syracuse police and the university investigated allegations, but charges were never filed. now a third accuser claims fine assaulted him in a pittsburgh hotel in 2002 .

>> i have a feeling that, you know, there could be many other victims in this case as well. and if somebody didn't back up bobby davis in his story then this could continue.

>> reporter: in a separate case tomacelli faces charges. federal agents searched the home for six hours on friday. fine has not been charged and calls the allegations patently false. jay gray, syracuse.
