Basketball 101
Posted on March 4, 2004 @ 10:21 am
The men’s basketball program at the University of Georgia has been under fire in recent months after allegations of NCAA rules violations surfaced last year. Among the alleged infractions was a charge that former assistant basketball coach Jim Harrick Jr. “fraudulently awarded grades of A to three men’s basketball student-athletes” enrolled in his Coaching Principles and Strategies of Basketball class, allowing the students to miss class and tests, as well as providing them with other “extra benefits.” One of these benefits was a remarkably easy final exam, which I’ve posted in the extended entry (courtesy of SI.com).

Sigh…reminds me of the thing they told us in teacher prep…
“If you want to teach, you should learn to coach something. Most schools will only hire you if you coach something. Especially you, Doug. You’re going to teach History. They’ll expect YOU to coach something.”
Wonder if tetris counts…I could coach that…
Nope — it’s the real deal. Hard to believe, eh?
