What about coaches? I have certainly heard coaches use much worse words directly to players' faces during games and practices. Where's the transcripts of those statements in the papers or on-line articles? Shouldn't they be held to the same standards as AD's? Shouldn't those types of comments be known by parents and others watching the program? If not, why not? Why shouldn't the coachs' behavior be more important, because they are dealing directly with the kids? Would you agree Bo Schembechler said and did worse things during his tenure as coach and AD? As a Michigan fan, would you also call him an idiot as well because of that? Or are your comments based on being a fan of a rival school?

Like I said, he probably shouldn't have said it. But what was said and done doesn't seem to be all that newsworthy in this day and age, other than the original writer found something negative to say. I'd feel the same way if the article was talking about Bill Martin, or any local high school AD.
Lah me. Fanboys!
