Everybody's Crazy 'Bout A Sharp Dressed Man ...

Here in the Constitution State, it's not common, but it's not rare either. We have some "big time" schools who make it to the state finals almost every year, whose coaches wear sweat suits. It looks like they're coaching at practice, not at a game, but they don't get paid to be a "fashion model". They get paid to win games, for their players to show good sportsmanship on the court, and for their players to graduate, and possibly move on to the next level. It used to bother me, now I realize that there are much more important things about being a good coach than about being a "fashion model". Just my evolving opinion.

Being a fashion model isn't important, but not looking like a bum is. I assume that coach is a teacher at the school. As a teacher he is paid to teach, enforce rules....and a bunch of other stuff. I would guess that unless that guy teaches gym then he is not allowed to wear a sweat suit while teaching. There are much more important things about being a good teacher than about being a fashion model but what the teacher wears is still important. Why is that changed for coaching a game?
