I remember dealing with such exchanges when I was principal...

in a middle school.

Neither coach displayed good judgment, in my opinion. And neither school or fan base should be particularly proud of their coach.

However, the Missouri coach also showed an inability to control his emotions. The question now becomes are these behaviors isolated events or are they indicative of a pattern of behavior.

Isolated incidents do not lend themselves to accurate character judgments...patterns of behavior do.


If Ehren had been in control of his emotion he would have realized he could have really caused the other coach problems. She had just emailed accusations to someone at the University of Missouri. This was not a he said/she said...it was in an email. The intelligent reaction would have been one of the following:

1. If he really disliked the other coach, he could have turned the email over to Missouri administration and allow them to apply pressure to Missouri State. If the Missouri State program is that bad this pressure could result in termination of their coach or at least a reprimand. He gets his vengeance and looks like a professional and classy guy.

Or option 2 (My preference)

2. Call the other coach, explain that if he was really a bad guy he would make this difficult for her, and then explain option 1. Then say "But I would prefer us finding away to play a couple of games next season." Give her an out, play the games, and then run rule them every game. Then smile as they shake hands.

Hats off! (a new Mizzou theme)

Oil and water will never mix. Two different kinds of coaches/people. Both coaches were wrong, okay. But they are coaches, not some tight-arse school principal or a corporate kiss-arse. Players/students were not involved. No threats, no sexist crap and not PC.

Sunflower seeds, can you just imagine those on a ball field???

I'm as non-PC as he is. She got in his grill...he returned the favor. This was non-public communication. EE learned it's ALL public.

But he had to "issue" an apology. If a Mizzou staffer had done this, oh boy. They would have been fired, period. But there is a double standard in the corporate/admin. world, so he had to say sorry.

Frick swmo state.
