Pat Summitt’s coach son quits amid relationship with player

[kingsholygrail]

If you are a young guy given the responsibility of coaching a university women's basketball team, I'll bet all parties involved understood the requirement that said young guy keep his pants zipped. It's an absolute no-brainer. That he did not is wrong for multiple reasons: it violates a very important trust between coach and player, one similar to the relationship between teacher and student; there is a huge imbalance of power between the two parties involved; it could create serious problems on the team; it most certainly calls into question the people who hired that guy, fairly or not; and it is morally dodgy as hell. It's not like they are two students who met in class.

I said it was unprofessional. People are acting like he assaulted someone.

Particularly given the power of hindsight it's pretty obvious that it wasn't a smart choice. That isn't really the point of contetion at this stage.

Maybe but how many 23 year olds are head coaches at that level or in the pros? Almost never.

You're always good at arguing points that nobody is debating.

I'm proud of that. Its an underrated issue here. Most coaches in coaching have to pay their dues. What due did he pay?

I don't know why you're asking me that?

What I said wasn't a compliment lol.

I'm asking you that because its an interesting factor. 23 in some cases is even the age of a college student. Its not everyday someone that age is a head coach at this level or the pro level. You're lucky if you're a GA at this point in your life usually.

I'm talking about HFboards, not just this thread. I'm just amazed that a person that doesn't have any interest in hockey would post on this board everyday only because of the sub-forums (other sports). How many times have you posted in the NHL talk forum? I'm guessing zero.
