This goes beyond communication issued between generations, IMO. They’ve alleged physical assault.
Denying the players food is also idiotic. How are they supposed to play with any sort of energy? You see top players eating snacks on the sideline during games so they can stay fueled up.

I definitely Italy see this as his point of view. There are many people who defending him because they see the situation the same way. The last stand for a coach with traditional values. Simply ignoring people and how their views have evolved. Any women's college coach who see's himself as a "Role Model" or "Daddy" should never be hired let alone coach. The Idaho athletic administration and college administration has failed these young women. What’s wrong with wanting to be a role model?

It is a label placed upon you by others for being an exceptional human, havong lived a life that exemplary and can be pointed to by people other than yourself as an example. Once you appoint yourself as a role model, you cease to be a role model.

Once you appoint yourself as a role model, you cease to be a role model. I guess I just disagree. It is not a negative if a Nebraska volleyball player aspires to be a role model for little girls throughout the state through her public persona, how she works with kids at camps, how she conducts herself in interviews and social media, etc. Or if a female head coach aspires to be a role model for young women coming up in the coaching profession. I don’t think it’s a negative to strive to act in a way that sets a good example.

For the record, I do agree that a male coach should not try to be his female players’ “Daddy”.

It is egotistical to declare to the world that you are a role model. It is not egotistical to vow to live a life that can be looked upon by others as being commensurate with a life that a role model would live. If you set out deliberately to be a role model, you have already failed, because everything you do will be staged, deliberately fulfilling what others think rather than what you believe.

This is an interesting philosophical discussion
The best leaders are those who do not seek leadership, but the way they live their lives bring leadership to themselves. Leadership without ego are those who are the best leaders……and role models. IMO.
Leadership and being a role model shouldn’t be the goal….but a result.
From what I read. This is not the leadership of Idaho.

I think it's fine to AIM to be a positive role model for those you are coaching, mentoring, whatever. Meaning that you aim to conduct yourself in a way that you KNOW impressionable kids are watching and listening, and you want to conduct yourself in a way that will have a positive influence on them, rather than a negative one. That's different than declaring yourself to be their role model. Your behavior in these situations will be noted in one direction or another, so you should aspire to be a positive influence.

Aspiring to be a role model and actually succeeding at being a role model are different things. Let's not get caught up in an endless debate.
It's OK to aspire to be a role model, as long as it doesn't force you to essentially lie about what you really do. Then you are just acting like a role model. That's when you get into a particular form of abuse that is particularly nefarious, because it can be hard to detect.

Wow. Debbie Buchanan is getting interviewed tonight about the Gonzales investigation. She was a former SWA and the HC at Idaho.

I can’t believe they haven’t suspended him at least while they do their “investigation.”

Wait there's allegations he was cheating from the sidelines too?!?!? Seems easy to prove if they had a messaging app. Why not report it to the NCAA?
