WaPo: Sally Jenkins says Mulkey dropped the ball...

[Bestiarius]

Mulkey has repented and deserves forgiveness.

Like the kid who decides instead of praying to God for a new bike, it's better to steal one and ask for forgiveness?

 

[Bestiarius]

Yeah, that's a really grown up response.

What would you suggest as an alternative?

 

[DaddyChoc]

What would you suggest as an alternative?

not that... especially from UConn's classy fans who are too damn good to do the "Wave"

And Jenkins shows us why the NCAA's lack of effort protecting the game smacks so much of politics.

"There is another situation in the NCAA report that illustrates how Mulkey treated the rules. She used her position as a parent to make improper contact with the Griner family when her daughter played with Griner on the same Texas AAU summer team, DFW Elite."
"Mulkey’s defense is that she was in a difficult situation as both a mother and a coach, and that’s a fact. But here are some other facts: In 2006, at around the same time she was cultivating the Griners at summer games, Mulkey hired DFW Elite’s coach Damion McKinney to her staff. McKinney is the assistant who made many of the improper calls and texts detailed by the NCAA, more than 300 of them in 2011 to a current DFW Elite coach."

This was the ignored issue. One wonders how many hundreds of coaches with students athletes for children had to walk that narrow line before her.

Exactly. It is a very narrow line.
