re: Mustain Dealing with Academic Issues

Fair enough. I know there's grey area. Something happened to make the situation blow up, most likely failure from both sides, but I don't think the parents getting involved was the correct course of action. Just seems kind of "high school" to me.

If I am a parent and I am lied to, I'm addressing it with someone. You can bet your arse on that.

I try to always view these situations in a light of who do I expect more from or who has a greater duty or responsibility. I expect the adult, head football coach to act better than an 18 year old student. I actually expect the coach to teach, counsel and make that kid a better person.

If half of the things I've heard are true in how Mustain was dealt with after the release of The Year of the Dawg, Hootie is wrong. From my personal observations of Hootie, I don't think those stories are off base.
