Or he can run for public office. The political fallout for cheating on your wife is very minimal in modern times. ;)

See the posting herein referring to Pokey Chapman at LA and beyond!! Is there gender bias??

As I said others may disagree. At the HS or College level, I would feel that Pokey and now Tyler would be an extremely hard hire. Administrations would have to stay clear of being put in the position where the coach has a history with the players with which they are charged. Pros? I guess they are adults and are responsible for themselves so I guess I can see a path to a hire. As for me, their situations are the same. No gender bias with me.
 
Whenever one of these stories breaks, I can't help but think of Tootie:

At the very least he should reach an age where he no longer is a peer of the players.

Did not intend to infer or imply a disagreement. Not much to disagree with above. I fully appreciate that Pro's don't have to worry about what a prospective recruits parents may think if they hired either Pokey or Tyler which would impact their ability to be hired. To be clear I didn't disagree with your previous posting only directing you to the Chapman comment. It isn't a good situation for Pro's or College male or female coaches to have a personal relationship with those being coached or managed---much more scandalous in College, however.

He has resigned as head coach. He has admitted to an inappropriate relationship with one of his players. A player that followed him from Marquette to play on his team at LA Tech. The player has been named. How much more do you need?

Even further, sources tell Swish Appeal that Summitt could've been involved in this type of behavior when he was coaching at Marquette.

Goodness.

One of the rumors out today was that the player in question was one of the players that had transferred from Marquette to latech.

What would make Tyler a particularly hard hire is that he hasn't done much as a coach. Why would a school want to take on his baggage when, from a coaching reputation perspective, he hasn't much to offer? Lets face it, he got his opportunities because of the Summitt name, and he's now erased that advantage.

He doesn't have the Chatman resume. She was a very good coach that did something stupid and she paid a price. He is a no resume coach that did something stupid. IMO he'll pay a bigger price. He'll be lucky to get a job coaching seniors at the Y.

Summitts chances at pros seems a stretch. Chatman had at least accomplished something at LSU and provided evidence she was a good coach. Summitt has not. Why would anyone ever hire a coach with baggage and no strong track record? He is done.
 
Ha great minds. 3 straight posts saying basically the same thing!

What? You mean leading a team to two consecutive middle-of-the-pack finishes in Conference USA won't open doors for him?

None. No college is going to hire him after this.

Not as a head coach and even if this didn't occur. His record is mediocre at best. But his mom's friends will have his back and he'll get a job as an assistant coach for a men's team in some obscure school so this will die down.
 
I was also wondering why the head coach at Marquette got fired and everyone was let go so suddenly at the time. Might not be related to this but I did wonder.

What that means engaging in a relationship negatively affected the people I love?

It's a mealy-mouthed way of saying he had a sexual or romantic affair with someone other than his wife.

I HIGHLY doubt they are related. If Marquette had knowledge of an inappropriate relationship I'm pretty sure they'd be obligated to tell LaTech.

Locker room janitor?

Can the entering therapy be far behind? I find it interesting that it cannot be discussed on VolNation.
 
Since this started as rumor and speculation that proved to be true I'll add some more. Rumor has it that there may be another shoe waiting to drop.
