Don Verlin and Idaho

This was institutionally embarrassing -- so Idaho had to do something and finally did. It's sickening when a coach, supposedly the ultimate role model, abuses his authority just because he can.

Start here.

The latest.

Not to link these two but this link popped up today. Do read the entire article -- a key section:

"...Deford quotes Pete Newell, the former Cal coach and a mentor to Knight, as saying: “There are times Bobby comes so close to self-destructing.” Which echoed the sentiments of Edwin Cady, a professor who chaired the committee that recommended Knight’s hiring at Indiana in 1971. Cady told Deford: “He’s in a race now between overcoming immaturity and disaster.”

  1. No public apology to the assistant coach after such a public display?
