Sports - "Duck coach chooses character above winning"
I'm thinking "Coach of the Year"!...
Andy Staples tells the story at SportsIllustrated.com, and closes with:
"But you had to make a statement. You had to place character above winning. You had to send a message to all those little ones who wear green and gold and who sleep under Oregon posters that they shouldn't steal, that they shouldn't lie. You had to tell your fans and boosters that you'd rather risk losing a few games than risk selling your program's soul for a title that would make you a very, very rich man.
What on earth were you thinking?"
