    Don't disagree, but it's never going to happen. Although as attendance dwindles in a lot of markets, it might have a slight effect on some salaries. But not enough to make a difference. That ship sailed long ago.

    At least the players provide actual entertainment.
    Some asshole in a Gucci thrashing his arms wildly on the sideline offers the sport NOTHING it can't do without, or replace at minimum cost and aggravation.

    Well, an example needs to be made of this fucker so the next time Coach Buzzcut thinks about firing balls at the heads of players, he says, "Maybe this ain't so good an idea."

    A Rutgers assistant coach has now resigned. The fallout has begun, it seems.

    You ever been to a high school game or a middle school game or youth game?

    Those coaches aren't getting paid shit, if at all, and there are still many acting like psychos

    Zagoshe-
    The problem is more pronounced in basketball than other sports.
    The game lends itself to micromanagement and control freaks.
    No need for these idiots to pretend they're playing chess.

    Exactly, society needs to collectively tell those guys to STFU and tell them they are unacceptable.
     
  9. The Sandusky garbage didn't stop Penn State fans from supporting the team. Unless a fan base turns, deifying coaches won't stop.

    Well, a 6-11, 280-pound player firing the ball back at Coach Buzzcut's head might send a message.

    Won't hold my breath waiting for any of these players to take a stand, however.
