I believe that one of the articles posted (Try the article that HoneyKiss posted yesterday) said that the team had several other incidents on their record. Here is a quote "Duke's athletics director, Joe Alleva, had warned Pressler to get his team "in line" following a high-level review of disciplinary records last year, The (Durham) Herald-Sun quoted Alleva as saying Monday." I'm guessing that whether or not these young men are guilty, this was the straw that broke the camel's back, and the athletic department asked for the coach's resignation.

A big part of that may have been the public relations aspect; if the team had been under fire previously, and then this issue came up, the administration may have just wanted to make the move now. I'm not sure that it goes to guilt or innocence.
