I cannot get used to the few coaches we have in our area that go down one step further, sweat suits. To me this is "practice wear". It's not like they're going to call timeout in a game, bring their team over to the nearest basket, and demonstrate the over under move.
The funny thing about that it was not officials that pointed out his clothes, it was fans and people that did not even know much about coaching personally and they felt he looked unprofessional. So if fans that had no association with his team noticed this and were taken aback by his clothes, what do you think a fan might notice about us? But to JAR I guess we can show up in anything and not be expected to be judged accordingly.
