Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 3902572, member: 591"] It turns out that children (including children that a coach is nursing) - count against the teams allotment of allowed folks in the "bubble". It has reportedly forced Assistants to choose between children and job (because they are afraid to ask the school to give up a member of the school's official traveling party) and generally increased stress. One (but not the only) voices on this matter has been Arizona coach Adia Barnes. The article specifically pointed out that children did not "count" in the WNBA bubble, in fact, the WNBA, through its agreement with the players union, actually highlighted athletes with children and provided nursery facilities, etc. The NCAA, which has come out with articles praising and encouraging coaches that they can have a family and coach as well - not so much. The article I read was behind a paywall in the Athletic, perhaps someone else could link something about this. Just another example of NCAA short-sightedness on the women's side. [/QUOTE]
