I have never heard of a head basketball coach teaching classes at a major university. That is definitely not part of the job description.

Know that Knight taught classes, usually how to be a coach or Xs and Os type classes.  Know this is dating me be when I was at IU I had a PE class taught by Lou Watson, who was the IU coach at the time.  It is all part of being part of the faculty.

At IU it is part of the job. I used to know a girl who had Jerry Yeagley as a prof.

I’m not sure if this is a thing anymore because I’ve never heard of a coach teaching classes but all of those guys were before my time.

 

That being said, then being basketball coaches qualifies them to teach classes about coaching. I don’t think a college degree does that lol

What difference does it make?  Every coach we are interested in have at least a bachelors degree.

It’s not about any specific candidate, it’s more about how absolute nonsensical it is to think having a bachelors degree makes you more qualified to be a basketball coach than someone who doesn’t. There are plenty of good coaches who’ve been around the game for 30 years and don’t have one.

Maybe you've never heard of it, but it is.

Jason Kidd, Ty Lue, Jerry Stackhouse, Magic Johnson off the top of my head. I guess none of them are qualified though because they didn't take classes from someone who's never coached a day for a major sports league in their lives...

Wasn't there a major football coach fired a few years ago because he didn't have a degree and lied about it on his employment application?

O'Leary was hired to be head football coach at Notre Dame and then was fired five days later for not having a degree.

Steve Masiello a few years back was supposed to become the USF coach but it turned out he didn't have a degree so the offer was rescinded. I think it's stupid that a college basketball coach would have to teach a class however. It's a waste of everyone's time.

For lying about his masters degree after already lying about something previously on his application. That one was a weird situation.
