I'm gonna go with the philosophy of the guy who's won big everywhere he's been.

as opposed to the other college and pro coaches who have won big

His approach wore thin in the pros & UCSD doesn't count. Did Stanford do 4 hrs?

Do you think RR is a bad coach?

concolor couguar

He's pointing out that the same thing happened when RR was the coach there

darkcoug

I understand that I would like his opinion of RR as a coach

concolor couguar

8/3/15 4:51pm

I think he's a really good coach.

i thought there was an hour limit to prevent that sort of thing?

During the school year there is a 4 hour per day and 20 hour per week limit.

So longer practices = better coach? Thanks Donnerstag!

Better track record of winning games that matter = better coach.

WhyKnot

8/3/15 5:22pm

No it doesn't. There are a bazillion factors that play into winning games

NCAA limits activity to 20 hrs total per week IIRC...
