re: Alleva calls Woodward a fool...

Does he watch the football team play when he's in the stadium? Seems like a stupid and distracting time to make decisions about the program's future.

You need to try to remember what was going on the entire week leading up to that game after Les had been blown out three straight games after starting the season 8-0. It was all over the media and Alleva was getting pressure from all the people that matter (and the fans) to make a move. There's nothing more distracting about it being during the game from Alleva's side as him watching or not watching the game has no effect on what happens during the game. It's not like Les was on a conference call with Alleva while he was coaching. The distraction was there already, and business doesn't stop because a football game is going on.
