Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 3111007, member: 591"] Please read the article about Geno's and the other Final Four coaches. Geno is saying what I was trying to say, only much better. If you don't agree, that's fine. I have seen quite a number of examples of coaches crossing - and crossing very clearly - a line. Actually, Rich Rod of the Arizona football program, while it wasn't for his coaching, and there was no evidence for the sexual harassment claims of his secretary, was ultimately fired because he created an unacceptable culture. And quite rightly so. At the same time, some coaches are not going to change, but are ultimately if anything too harsh, not abusive. Abusive is belittling players for who they are, not saying "they can't guard a chair" as I seem to recall Geno saying. And it is calling someone an ethnic insult - not yelling 'No more foreigners" when Svet made a play he didn't like. It is telling someone they are a disgrace - and not calling them a "Human Foul" as I heard Geno call Schumacher? (the player from Canada). Was there really anything wrong with Geno's remarks? But in today's day and age - could someone think that he insults his players? Um, I think so. And I'm sorry, but for all the long list of folks who have abused players, there are lots who have quietly been accused of it, even if all that makes the news is that a player transferred. As to Izzo, which I considered "crossing the line" - Geno defends him. So, who's to say, I have never coached anyone. [/QUOTE]
