Coach,I'm not sure that we really do know where the SIU coach is coming from on this one-to give him the benefit of the doubt.You're dealing with a typical immature,smartass freshman college writer.We don't really know what he asked the coach,what additional comments that he may have left out of his story because they didn't fit his "satire",whether the coach really did put any of the blame his players,etc.,etc. It's not like we're dealing with Woodward and Bernstein here.
I've seen a lot of similar stories over the years from college papers.I just consider the source and don't take 'em seriously at all.
Btw,all the points that you made were good. I know that there are a lotta coaches out there like you that do have common sense, but I wish that a few more would follow your example.
