Barron then hired Curry after hiring Kevin Reed first, Curry 2nd and the Lee Prep Coach third, seeing that no other of the 351 D-1 men's teams have a women as an assistant coach at the present time.
Two different things, but it is unique as the Maine men's program is the only one of the 351 teams to have either let alone both together on the same team.
I disagree that if you can coach you can coach anyone. Girls are more coachable then boys and so are women players more coachable then men's players and the two games are not the same. The men's game is more athletic and physical and the men usually play the game using their athleticism more then the women who play the game more from the shoulders up then from the shoulders down as men have a tendency to do.
I have taught shooting lessons and run shooting camps to both boys and girls and I can tell you that girls are more coachable at all grade levels and try harder to please a coach then boys usually do. Girls usually improved more then the boys did in these shooting lessons.
It is harder to go from women's and girls to men and boys to coach than it is from men's and boys to women's and girls.
I do have 4 questions. Which one of the 3 assistant coaches Barron hired is the number 1 assistant, who is number 2 and who is number 3??? Or are they all the same with no order and each the same pay wise?
Sexist much?
and who the freak cares who the number one asst is???
Demeanor???? Thanks for checking in Uncle Leo.
augie: No no sexist, just reverse sexism.
Just stating 2 facts that's all. Only 2 coaches in the country out of 351 men's teams is a fact.
The assistants might care as they do pay by the numbers, unless of course, they don't care and that they might be dividing the total assistant salaries evenly by 3 if they are all equal and have the same responsibilities.
