Forgive me Father for l have sinned!
A national champion as a player,and an asst. Coach, a 4 time National Champion as a head coach plus an Olympic Gold medal winner. Perhaps I might lean on the side of supporting coaches.....but a piece of ****? Really? We are talking class?
The best girls basketball player I’ve ever coached played for Dawn at Temple. I’m going to agree with your last comment, Dan, a very good coach, but leaves a lot to be desired as a person according to my former player. And this isn’t some player that has an axe to grind because she didn’t play either. you’ll find that these high profile women’s basketball coaches are bigger jerks than the men coaches.
You haven’t sinned because you blindly trust coaches, you just lose credibility.
So, if someone comes to you repeatedly (2 year chase) and you tell them no, you're not interested, you feel they're "obligated" to answer them? I don't know her and she may be a POS but, IMHO, I don't think she's compelled to speak with him at all.
I agree with what you’re saying, but you also can’t really complain about the message that is going to be sent out when you declined to offer a different option.
Two words for you: Bo Schembechler. Just because somebody is an excellent coach doesn’t make them a good person.
I never have and never will be concerned with my credibility here. What would that mean precisely? A crown from the gutter?
Well not everyone has the same definition of "class." I acknowledged that her personality or style is abrasive. But, don't you think you may have gone a bit too far when you called her "a piece of ****?"
Give me 10 million a year and I'm anything you want me to be! I'll bet deep down "he's one of us" and he hates himself. LOL
Agreed. Coaches are like every other profession. I strongly believe that high school coaches should be teachers and good role models. College coaches work in a different environment. This coach is a demonstrated winner as a player, assistant coach, Olympian and national champion head coach. You want to criticize her for having "no class." Okay, no one is perfect.
Well, first of all it's folly to take anything from the past and place it without modification in today's world.
I'm not a Michigan fan and all I know is what the media tells me. But there are former players and thousands of Michigan fans who would tell you they don't believe Bo is guilty of anything.....just as we support Joe. We had people make accusations and take money. Sound familiar? All the evidence seems to point at the doctor being a pervert.....but exactly how much should Bo be implicated. He had to know! Heard that before?
Could have swore he was! But based on what I've seen of him, he could have been. Thanks for correcting me.
Actually, I've always had the impression that if you are considered a "public figure" the media has a great deal of latitude to smear you. If you are a public figure you must prove that the publisher acted with "malice." In other words you must prove that the publisher "knew" what they printed was false. It can be done.....but the threshold is steeper than for John Doe.
No, I think that’s about right. When someone goes beyond the accepted level of classlessness, you enter into the POS realm. It wouldn’t be fair to the rest of the coaches who are just at the normal level to not call her that.
that's precisely why I will tend to believe the Post-they know better than to publish falsehoods
That dude needed so much therapy it isn't even funny. Bullying people you're left in charge of is the worst type of coward....but hey he won games so let's put him on some pedestal or pretend he wasn't a ticking time bomb. You can't defend the occupation as EVERY occupation has idiots so that is a marshmallow take too.
America being too soft is my biggest fear. I don't feel we have the balls to defend ourselves anymore. Fear some psycho leader will attack or China is constantly planting shiite in our country waiting for the right moment for take over. Taking tinfoil hat off now....
Living proof fear porn works...congrats...good coaching discussion.
When you talk football, I love your posts. Informed and insightful. When you mock people who bother to question a coach it’s pointless.
Didn't Sally Jenkins work for WP? She certainly vilified JVP.

I go back and forth on this story about the LSU coach that I haven't read yet.
Bigger question: yay or nah, wreckability? Seems like nay.
