USC Football Suspends OC-Register Writer for "Rules Violation"

USC and Lincoln Riley rescind suspension of access to SCNG reporter – Orange County Register (ocregister.com)

 

Journalist did Riley a service

 

If I’m SCNG, I would punt on the credentials (no pun intended). The policies that make it tough to do good work are still in place. It is not worth it have access at the sake of actual journalism.

 

Shake my head when people in the biz, those who should know better, use phrases such as "Coach K." He ain't Coach K to anybody who didn't play for him.

 

Brings up one of my philosophies: If you're in a decision-making position, you get all the info and make the decision, then you rescind the decision a few days later, you SHOULD NOT be in a decision-making position.
This applies more to the new AD, who is a veteran. She should have known better.

 

I get the sentiment, but the dude is "Coach K" because his name is Krzyzewski. Everyone on earth calls him Coach K for a pretty solid reason.

 

No one is asked to spell his last name while saying it aloud.

"The Duke coach" and "Shu-SHEV-ski" are three syllables. One more than "Coach K." Not too onerous.

 

OH THANK YOU JESUS.

 

"Hey Shawhewahwieweaewski, what's up?"

 

Or just call him Mike.
