Considering the Tampa Bay Lightning just fired a coach they hired as an AHL coaching rock star, it’s interesting that all signs point to Syracuse Crunch head coach Jon Cooper taking over for Guy Boucher.
But Cooper’s a different kind of coach. He’s not gimmicky, and he’s familiar with a good...
As a rule of thumb, if a manager is good enough to lead a team to a cup final, it is generally neither necessary nor beneficial to relieve him of his duties right before said cup final.
Southend Utd have thrown the Book of Logic and Sound Reasoning straight out of the window, parting company...
Who doesn’t like a fan giveaway while attending an NHL game? You know, a keepsake to remember your amazing (and pricey!) experience: Hats, bobblehead dolls, magnetic calendars, a used earpiece tossed into your lap by an NHL assistant coach.
Wait, whaaaaat?
Witness Boston Bruins assistant...
For the past several seasons, the Detroit Pistons have been a picture of NBA irrelevance. In the summer of 2009, general manager Joe Dumars used the team's considerable cap space to hand out above-market deals to Charlie Villanueva and Ben Gordon, too capable players very poorly suited to taking...
The Aurora (Ore.) North Marion High school district is in the midst of a budget crunch, so they certainly didn’t have the funds needed to ramp up its stock of football helmets. That was a big problem for the North Marion football team, which didn’t have enough safe helmets to complete a full...
Auto-correct functions on devices make for some humorous mistakes. Some are just more humorous than others.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner in the contest for “creepiest high school coach in America." His name is Zachary Reeder, and if he is guilty of even part of what he is accused of, he is a deeply morally broken man.
As reported by the Los Angeles Times and the Irvine Daily Pilot, the...
Over the last few months, positive results on the pitch for Mansfield Town manager Paul Cox have brought about some pretty wonderful changes in his life. In a bet with Mansfield chief executive Carolyn Radford, Cox agreed to move up his wedding date if they beat fellow non-league side Lincoln...
Less than a week after the Cal State Fullerton women's basketball team learned assistant coach Monica Quan had been shot to death in her car last weekend, the Titans played a game in her honor Saturday afternoon.
They lost to UC Riverside 64-45, but the final score was secondary to paying...
Grief swept over the Cal State Fullerton campus Monday after Monica Quan, an assistant coach for the women's basketball team, and her fiancé, Keith Lawrence, were found shot to death Sunday in a car at the condominium complex where they lived.
Shock and grief were also felt at USC where...
In addition to being one of best coaches in the NBA, Gregg Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs can be a big grump. He's well known as one of the league's least forthcoming interview subjects, treats between-quarter talks with sideline reporters as a burden, and generally seems to like any sort of...
I used to play baseball for him when I was 9 and 10, then in Jr High when I was in 7th and 8th grade and as a 7th grader I played for the 8th grade team and was 3rd on the team in batting average at .476. Then my 8th grade year I was the catcher and we went to sectionals but lost because of a...
There are plenty of examples of coaches taking the easy, bad way out, piling up points in epic blowouts to either give their team more practice time or, occasionally, massage their own ego. It's much more rare to find a coach who goes so far in the other direction that he actually holds his team...
When Tommy Tuberville abruptly left Texas Tech last weekend for Cincinnati, the most obvious candidate to replace him was Kliff Kingsbury.
Kingsbury was a record-setting quarterback at Texas Tech, and had an impressive year at Texas A&M as the Aggies' offensive coordinator and quarterbacks...
