Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2883576, member: 5798"] After reading [U]everything[/U] that is presented here, (what was reported by the media, and the comments by BY brethren), [B]my[/B] [B]opinion[/B] for what it's worth is simply that Macy [U]got caught[/U] with her hand in the cookie jar. I think she knew exactly what she was doing. It's possible someone dropped a dime on her, to bring the matter to light. I don't believe she voluntarily turned herself in. I don't believe Macy to be a stupid or naive with respect to NCAA D-1 protocol or procedures. She's been coaching since 2000, that's 18 years, many of those years at the Division 1 level. Coaches know the NCAA rules regarding policy and protocol as much as they do the rules of the game. Knowing the rules and regs of the NCAA is one of the prerequisites for being hired as a college level coach. They have to because the buck stops with them. In the end, coaches are ALWAYS held accountable for anything and EVERYTHING that happens within their program (including the actions of their assistants a la Rick Patino). In this case, the investigators and administration view this violation as a rule that she should have known about, whether she did or not. As other posters have mentioned, she had assistant coaches (and an administrative compliance officer) that should have known the rules and protocols for practice for D1 programs. To say that she mis-understood the practice rules is questionable. It's coach speak. Rather than challenge the allegations, she chose to resign immediately. People who are innocent of the charges or allegations made against them don't resign. As always, other coaches will learn from this incident. I'm sure Macy will resurface again as head coach in another program in the near future. [ATTACH=full]35376[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
