- The Montreal Canadiens fired their coach yesterday and promoted an assistant coach to take his place. The citizens, and government of Montreal and Quebec are up in arms over the new head coach. Is he clearly unqualified? Well, in their eyes, yes, but not for reasons you would think. It's because he doesn't speak French. And in Quebec, not speaking French is a bigger affront to their sensibilities than actually invading Paris.
Right. It's not important whether the guy can actually coach, reach players, teach schemes, etc. As long as he can speak French he's qualified for the job, and anyone who can't? Sorry, you can't hire him. Brilliant.
- Read this story dealing with a graduate-student college basketball player being held hostage by his former coach with an ax to grind.
All I can say after reading this is I hope the St. Joseph's basketball program a) comes to its senses quickly, and b) achieves no NCAA tournament success until current coach Phil Martelli is gone from the program.
