| Interesting article by Voepel but I don't care how old Summitt is, his career coaching women should rightly be over. PERIOD. |
It didn't finish Pokey's career. What's the difference? |
It finished her career in college, and I think the same would be true for Tyler.
But then again, he was a lot more hypocritical than Pokey coming in, so maybe that counts for something. If your reality is that much different than the image you project, then there are legitimate questions about trustworthiness.

That would make him a microscopic piece of her legacy in the pool of coaches that are a part of her legacy.

Oh my lord...I can't believe some of the knuckleheads that wrote on that side saying it was an honest mistake. Clearly they know nothing about the relationship between coach/player and the lines that exist. Seriously...  |
Yep, allegedly accidentally sticking his aroused genitals in his player...honest mistake... |

Well this is one man who is unforgiving on this matter. It's not a mistake. It is a fuckup of galactic proportions and should rightly end his coaching career.
He can't be trusted so he can't be hired. |

The main thing that is stupid about this is ESPN claiming this is a debate. NO. It's an ARTICLE. As at least one person pointed out on Twitter, a debate consists of two or more people presenting opposing viewpoints. And there is certainly no debating going on in the comments section. That is a slanging match in the nth degree. Ugh.

| One sad outcome from all this is that athletic offices are going to avoid hiring young male coaches even as assistants. This would not be the case if Tyler didn't have Summitt for a last name because it would have been a largely ignored story. I'm fairly confident that there have been similar situations that were quietly handled with non-disclosure agreements.

He probably would have never been hired so young without the name.
I'm not so sure youth was a big factor in this if being married didn't mean anything.
