As Dan Lauria, noted high school basketball coach with a reputation for sending a few players notably Mehcad Brooks, on to the top in the world of basketball is being honored, one of his former players interrupts the banquet. Aaron Tveit sure looks out of place at that the little clambake, he's a junkie now, but his accusations bring in the SVU squad including new members Danny Pino and Kelli Ghiddish.
No one and I mean NO ONE wants to talk about Lauria among his former players in other than the most laudatory terms. All deny vehemently any accusations of sexual abuse no matter how old they are. Then Tveit is found dead with a hotshot overdose and the squad gets a little desperate to find some confirmation.
It comes down to Mehcad Brooks who is now a Kobe Bryant type mega-player with the contract and ancillaries to prove it.
Lauria highlights this episode, this guy is some piece of work.
