I am not going add myself to that group unless I think it will make that game better. A T for "hell" will wreck that game and likely my career in that league. Again - since we ALL know this.....WHAT ARE WE ARGUING ABOUT AGAIN?
So that would mean that someone like Bobby Knight would have been fired YEARS ago, rather than being allowed to build up to the way he has behaved in the last couple of years. But because many people consider winning to be more important than developing character and behaving appropriately (since winning brings in $$, and of course that is the most important thing in everything, isn't it? (insert strong intent of sarcasm here)), that is the way things go.
