Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2064640, member: 7492"] With Mulkey's pathetic comments yesterday and then her doubling down in her press conference later in the day, it got me thinking about the arrogance that many coaches who have succeeded so successful in their careers have exhibited when their program or their school comes under scrutiny. Here's the abbreviated list: Pitino at Louisville who refuses to take blame for his current scandal with assistant coach providing "fringe benefits" and is filing an appeal of program sanctions...really? Coach K in denial on Grayson Allen's behavior and that "he would handle it" when the press had the audacity to point out it was his 3rd offense, so how did Master Mike handle it- only a 1 game suspension....really? UNC scam African-Americans study program in which the majority of attendees were Mens's and Women's basketball players (and football) yet Williams and Hatchell were angry either of them were asked why they did allow this and that a scam was perpetrated. They both refused any accountability of oversight and the Univ has been vigorously working to protect the Men's hoop team from sanctions...really? Now Mulkey is denying her beloved school has done anything different than other schools and people should just move on...really? To borrow Harry Truman's quote-"The buck stops here" points out ultimately Truman would be accountable for failures. Wher is any accountability and acknowledgement that major errors in judgement and behavior occurred AND that they recognize they and the school must do better and improve controls and oversight with appropriate consequences on behavior, not only from students but also from faculty and administrators. After all isn't this supposedly our higher education process? Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
