No, this is terrible for them. Now they have to find another excuse for why they get pantsed by the Pats twice a season for the next two years.

“Now if you’ll excuse me I have some important business to attend to.”

No shit, Dan.

“I don’t know what kind of business you’re in, but I tell ya what, if I was a head of a newspaper, and you didn’t do your job, you’d be held accountable.”

I have zero problem with the yelling.

I’m bemused that Izzo, who makes how many millions of dollars, behaved like a 5-year-old when interacting with an actual 18-year-old. He should be embarrassed. Would a professor at this esteemed academic institution be forgiven for acting the same way?

You’re right, he doesn't work in an office. He works at a fucking school.

NO OTHER coach has gotten more mileage out of an almost two-decade-old championship than Izzo. Also, he’s a scumbag who enabled his players to do horrible things, allegedly. 

Pay them, then

College basketball head coaching suffers from what we call the “BMW Paradox.” We’re not sure whether you have to be a raging asshole to acquire that position, or if you just morph into a raging asshole after you acquire it?

The worst part about this is that Izzo thinks his yelling made this kid effective.  Studies have shown (read The Happiness Advantage) that yelling does the opposite and the kid even talked about the pressure he feels when being yelled at.  His teammate had to intervene yesterday and asked Izzo what point he wanted to…

Oh he apologizes after publicly berating his 18 year old unpaid laborers?  He sound kind. 

Unless someone has committed a terrible offense, you’ve got to be a real dick to embarrass someone in any public setting, but the fact that this was public and on national television--and like the millionth time Izzo has done this--adds multiple layers of dick and hubris. 

Izzo: “What the fuck are you doing?!”

Your take is “Izzo has always been a dick so it’s unfair to criticize him for being a giant dick” is bad. 

That type of behavior from a grown man is completely unacceptable.

Which is really kind of astounding, once you think about it a bit.  He’s a Mormon man--was his mission in, like, Moab or something?  Because you’d think he’d have *some* experience adapting himself to a different environment.

Exactly. The linked article literally has him just ordering rice because some of the items sound weird to him. You know you have to be there for four months, man, try to enjoy it!

I have faith in a Mormon’s ability to be bored *anywhere*.

Haven’t the long suffering Jews like Meghan McCain dealt with enough?  When will it stop?
