A couple games from last season I enjoyed watching last night:

Those rascally Terriers, what have they gotten themselves mixed up in now?

Not much really. A $5k fine and loss of weekly practice time.

But these kids need all the time they can get for that grinding Wofford course work.

They have 1 year of probation for the violations. Doesn’t that mean they cannot participate in the NCAAT?

Not on the list of punishments.

Well this is actually pretty funny, I thought he was like beating his players or something lol

What does exactly a 1-yr probation mean? And why is the NCAA punishing Wofford anyway? The players had nothing to do with what was going on…Here again the NCAA is being ridiculous.

Well, the only 'punishment' that applies towards the players here is more free time

McCauley wanted those players to win. Unforgivable!

Back in the day our fall preseason basketball practices lasted at least 2, sometimes 2 1/2 hours. And then at the end we had to run sprints until a lot of people puked. Nobody including parents ever complained (that I know of).

And that was in 7th grade BB.

Everything is becoming player centered. If something isn't done, coaches won't be much more than meat handlers. Left to the players devices, I don't think athletes will develop.....and sometimes you must puke in a hot gym for 4 years of what should be a privilege

The “in the know” Wofford supporters will tell you there is more to McCauley’s issues than pushing the players to work hard. It is known that Wofford gave him plenty of chances with anger management. I really liked McCauley, but he got what he deserved. Wofford has a good one now in Coach Perry. He works his players hard too, but with dignity.
