The teaching a class thing was a thing until this century, and was a bad move IMO.


A bad move that they were teaching or a bad move that they are not currently teaching?

For things to change the players have to have an alternative place to play. Europe, D League or some upstart league.


That they no longer teach.

The "teaching" thing was pretty nominal anyway, at least from my experience. I took Coaching Football from Coach Burke and he was there the first day but that was it. The rest was handled his assistants.

It was nominal, but it also got coaches involved with the other side of things, and though lots of their athletes took the class, it also exposed the coaches to normal everyday students on campus. Something they hardly experience today.
