Dave Bliss To Coach Again

[SUMG]

If that guy had never gotten another chance to coach it would have been fine with me.:

AIA approached Bliss about speaking to the National Association of Basketball Coaches at the Final Four. He took them up on the offer, addressing 300 to 400 of his former colleagues on the topic of ethics and the pressures of coaching.

You gotta be kidding me?

"The story at the Final Four that we wanted to present coaches – the story was so many coaches out there are on the cusp of losing their way and of compromising because of the demands to win and overwork," Nelson said. "He fell into it, lost his way and acknowledged it. He said, 'I sacrificed everything I knew was right just to keep winning games.' "

No you didn't. You sacrificed OTHERS to try and save your own ass!

I simply don't understand what the hell is wrong with the AIA? Why anyone would place this guy in and around young, impreshionable people is beyond me? What do they think they are gaining by all of this? Teaching others how to forgive? Forgive him, fine, but don't hire the POS putting him in charge of others? Was there not someone else out there who could have coached for them with a better reputation?

And his ex-assistant can't even get a shot at another coaching job!
