| The University of Illinois has had 16 mens basketball coaches since it began playing the sport in 1906.

On Tuesday, the school was preparing to hire its 17th coach, John Groce, who is as white (and shorn) as a cue ball. Apparently, we live in a state with the racial diversity of Iceland. It was one thing for Illinois to whiff on Shaka Smart, the very successful coach at Virginia Commonwealth, which is what new athletic director Mike Thomas did. Smart, who... |

(sub-headline: Michael Singletary's coaching style clearly doomed him as head coach of the 49ers, and heres why.) Former San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Singletary's skills with the X's and O's -- the nuts and bolts of coaching football teams -- were suspect enough. But even if he was deemed adequate in that regard, his persona made his suitability as coach of the 49ers questionable. Society has not reached the point yet where the "fiery black man" approach is acceptable for CEO-type positions, especially when it doesn't deliver positive results, as evidenced by San Francisco's 0-5 start this season and...

(John) Wooden Was Greatest Coach Ever

| With all due respect to Bob Knight, Mike Krzyzewski and even Bear Bryant and Vince Lombardi, John Wooden was in a class by himself. Wooden will go down as the most accomplished coach anywhere. Ever. The Wizard of Westwood won 10 national titles in a 12-year span, including a remarkable seven consecutive from 1967 through 73. Woodens success is almost unfathomable. Wooden passed away on Friday night at the UCLA Medical Center, just months prior to his 100th birthday on Oct. 14. Wooden was still mentally sharp in his 90s and was spotted at UCLA games and other events. |
