    Re read what I said. Verbal insults and ethnic/homophobic slurs are very different. If you want to twist what I said, that is your problem.

    For different people in this thread, the line that Rice crossed is in different places. Opposing someone being racially/homophobically slurred is different that wanting everyone to receive a trophy at the end of competition.

    All of which leads to a new issue, is Denny too soft on the moderators?

    You'll have to ask the goats if the moderators mistreat them.

    The key word being adamanetly [sic]. Hell yes people are defending him in this thread. They say they don't condone it, but then proceed to defend it. And, apparently if you don't defend him you are a soft pussy. Being alpha is cool.

    That's quite the funny post. You should stick to discussing topics you know rather than infer. I had enough of your childish posts about supposed "toughness." Enjoy your day!

    The problem with this board is that it's not tough enough. And it all starts at the top. If you want a lean, efficient economy, Denny, you'd better lose 40 pounds before you demand superhuman feats from us poor posters trying as hard as we can.

    That approach worked pretty well for Phil Jackson.

    Mark it down. I agree with Papa G. About as rare as a total eclipse, if not rarer.

    You agree with me on a lot of things, you just never read beyond the first sentence of anything I type, so you never know my opinion. Yet, I read through your rants completely.

    Papa has opinions, I have rants. I express agreement, he insults me. Yet he says time after time I am hateful.
    No wonder so many threads degenerate into bickering.

    I won't play.

    You just did.

    I don't think this thread can die but I sure hope it would. Everything that has needed to be said has.

    I have moved on. Where is the outrage for Shiela Kelly?

    Putting away the moral/ethic dimension for a moment, it's just bad policy.

    If I am a player and I can get a scholarship somewhere else, I very likely do it.
    If I am a parent and my kid has any other reasonable offers, I strongly encourage my kid to leave.
    If I am a prospective recruit I stay away unless I have no other offers.
    If I am a parent of a prospective recruit, I strongly encourage my kid to do/go something/somewhere else.

    As for the miliary thing, it's a matter of uniformity. If all of the coaches do it, then you know what you're getting into (like the military). However, if the coaching style is the peculiar to that one coach, you don't put up with it.
