Legacy Journal: The Toughest Job in America
Section:
Columns
Summary:
“If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?"--- John Wooden
The game of picking the toughest or most impossible job in America is a old as the “Public House” yarns of yore. The new mother of quads, wife of a small town pastor, candidate for “First Lady of the Land”, the first ..., etc. Sport Illustrated has called the MBB coaching job at Oregon State University in Corvallis, “the toughest coaching job in America.” The new hire is Craig Robinson , Michelle Robinson Obama’s brother. He will be trying to recruiting nationally for a Pete Correll Princeton style offense played in the old concrete cave-like Gill Coliseum, the site of the Ralph Miller era success and concerts by Peter Nero and others. The good news is the school’s colors-- orange and black.
Main:
So why is it so tough to be a successful coach?
Consider demanding fans, fanatic alumni, impossible parents, jealous faculty, unruly students, rotating ADs, and prima donna athletes with spotty academics who can not make foul shots in the fourth quarter , sustain a block, or lay down a bunt.
So who has the more difficult job, Craig Robinson or Michelle Obama? The latter is one believes Maureen Dowd of the nytimes. Maureen is of a mind that the Republlic Attach Dogs are out to make mincemeat out of Michelle now that Hillary is temporarily out of the glare of national political race kleig lights. Others have the idea that the impressive Michelle, a Princeton and Harvard Law grad raised on the south side of Chicago can handle the heat and the pace of the race.
Winning basketball games in the Pac 10 is hard and less likely than the Obamas both doing well on the campaign trail and beyond.
