  1. Do you even empirical research bro? Why would athletics be exempt from something so well documented in the corporate and education spheres? Again, I don’t even think it’s a necessarily bad thing. It is most definitely a thing.
  2. wow. case closed. a master of rhetoric.
  3. All of those coaches scream obscenities in their players' faces and are surly with the media. That Pop is beloved is my exact point.
  4. Then explain how you equate her behavior with that of Marshall and Knight. Wow it’s almost like I predicted there would not be a consensus about another male coach in her category.
  5. Why don’t you say that she’s not as bad as knight and Marshall? Gregg Popovich, Kelvin Sampson, Tom Izzo—all act like jerks but it’s perceived as a benefit to their teams (and themselves by extension).
  6. What on earth are you talking about? I’m so irritated you’re putting me in the position of defending one of my least favorite coaches. You’re equating Mulkey with bob knight who was verifiably abusive, throwing a chair on the court during a game, choking a player on video, and arrested for assaulting a peace officer and Gregg Marshall who also had multiple accusations of assault and racist verbal abuse. I have never heard anything remotely like that about Mulkey. You’re proving the point.
  7. can’t really prove a negative, because there’s no consensus on which coaches are jerks. Name a male coach you think is a good guy. And how much women’s basketball are you actually watching to say that these guys “aren’t nearly as bad as Mulkey?”
  8. Comparing her to other tough female coaches like Staley and Summit does not address the claim of Mrs. [mention=2700]TreatyOak[/mention] which is: If Mulkey does the exact same thing as a male coach, it is perceived differently (and reflects more negatively) than if a male coach does it. She is violating cultural norms backed by empirical research. There’s actually much more of a disparity at lower levels and it’s actually one of the reasons why I stopped coaching my kids’ sports teams. Moms just cannot get away with what dads can. I don’t even think it’s a bad thing, necessarily. But it’s a fact.
  9. This had me chuckling all day
  10. May need to cross post on wives thread [emoji1787]
  11. Wow. Whole lot of nothing. I wonder how much the libel lawyer retainer was. She’s certainly not likable, but nothing out of the ordinary for coaches at the level. I am willing to admit a little sexism in that I think some of things I don’t like about her I would likely find less irritating in men. I’m surprised the article didn’t address that.
  12. Congrats! Tell us what you spend our money on!
