The DePaul coach who took Depaul to the World Series 4 or 5 times was beloved by his players. He was old school and something he did, which was a light hearted joke was blown into him slapping a player. It was the old look up, look down and then he flicked her nose. It aas cause for the new President and AD to have grounds for termination. He went to Auburn and eventually retired last year. Hs back in Chicago helping a travel softball program in SW suburbs.
It’s a different time and world and no longer can you joke around, show tough love or even sit a kid without the possibility of the player and parents going to the administration wanting your head on a platter.
