somewhat OT - what's wrong with the coaches at this school?

You had said...

I didn't like the way she screeched at the refs all the way through her games

appearing to me that you were saying that was her typical behavior.

You seem to be most upset that she appears, based only on you not seeing the article about her, to have gotten special treatment. Just becasue you didn't see it didn't mean it didn't get reported. What gets reported, more often than not, depends on what else is in the news that week. If there was some big event, her story probably got pushed to the last page. It is even possible that if there were enough bigger stories, the editor would choose to drop such a story.

It has appeared to me that it is her typical behavior. In any game of hers that I've either reffed (1 game) or watched, many or most of her comments to the refs were said at high pitch and high volume. Reffing that game, I found it extremely annoying. However, I also said, that I thought she was a good coach, and I appreciated the way she related to her girls. I was commenting on one small flaw that I see in her, and two large strengths.

Also, you're right that the stories about her DUII's might have been printed and I missed them. It just seems odd to me that the David Adelman stories both got printed on the front page of the sports section, and that although I see the paper every day, I never saw either of hers.

It wasn't meant as a witch hunt (I know you didn't say that, Camron), a denigration or compliment to the Oregonian or to Jesuit. It was a wonderment. There might be a really great explanation, there might be a really shameful one. There might be a quite flimsy one. It was just a comment that when I saw the part of the article Mark referenced, I was surprised to read about Kathy Adelman-Naro's DUII's. I just wondered why it either hadn't been printed or I hadn't noticed it.

I still don't see why anyone is jumping down my throat about it.
