It’s one thing to suffer a crushing defeat at the hands of a local rival, leaving your players looking like cartoon characters and causing top recruits to flee. But it’s an entirely different level of embarrassment to be so utterly clueless. As someone with a unique perspective, I’m resisting the urge to lash out and say something unbecoming. It’s bad enough to take a once-illustrious program, one that consistently vied for top honors, and turn it into a laughingstock. Actually, that title belongs to another team in the state – they’re so abysmal they make a mediocre coffee shop barista look like a supermodel.
But back to the coach who seems to be missing a few screws: HOW DOES ONE LIVE IN A STATE KNOWN FOR ITS SWAMPLANDS AND SUNSHINE FOR THREE YEARS AND THINK THERE ARE BASEMENTS AROUND EVERY CORNER?! It’s basic geography, folks! Even I know that basements are a rarity in this part of the country. It’s impossible for the kids you coach to be worried about what people in their “basements” think because THOSE BASEMENTS DON’T EXIST! I’m left scratching my head, wondering how someone so out of touch can be in charge of a team.
