Big 10 -- New supervisor and new evaluation process

[Rich]

I think it's only a matter of time before basketball is run like NCAA softball, where they openly admit that the coaches run the sport.

What, like 20 years ago?

I'll be more impressed if he also asks for accountability from the coaches and tries to get them to cut their whining back a bit too. Some of 'em are absolutely ridiculous...and some of 'em are getting away with murder also when it comes to yapping at the the officials.

I don't work NCAA, so I don't have to deal with those coaches.

Unfortunately, the kids and coaches that I deal with (and millions like them) watch and learn from those coaches. To my mind, THAT's the reason NCAA needs to deal with the coaches.

And you can add the NBE coaches and players to that also. Sometimes I think we spend the first 2 weeks of every high school season re-teaching the players and some coaches that what they see on tv and what they got away with in summer ball just ain't gonna fly any more.

And high school football is the same.

See in my opinion, the coaches are far and above more "behaved" and more technicals are called against coaches who cross the line in the NBA rather than the college level. As far as the players, you're right in that they're allowed to get away with more, but then again, that's true of any professional level vs. amateur.

Never sat in the first couple of rows behind an NBE team bench, have ya? Try it. You might learn some new words.

I agree with the comment about NBA coaches being better behaved than NCAA coaches. I've watched a decent amount of NCAA games this year, and those guys get away with anything they want. Gregg Marshall at Wichita State would have multiple T's if he was an NBA coach, but the NCAA guys usually don't do much about his antics on the sideline.

Utah Jazz coach, Jerry Sloan can't ask for a drink of water without dropping an F-bomb. The officials who work his games know that's the way he talks, and they have to work past it to get his intent whenever he says something. It's amazing what he gets away with.
I know some unsuspecting fans who took their kids to a game, in seats behind the bench, and gave up those seats because of his verbiage.

And as long as people continue to buy tickets, the behavior will continue.

Even if that is true, I've still seen Jerry Sloan both get more technicals and/or ejections for his behavior, then Coach K and it isn't even close.
