stevenash Posted May 23, 2016 Report Posted May 23, 2016 Breithaupt did not get any recognition in this area when he was inducted. Does that mean he is a victim of the good ole boy system also? Quote

Expand Interesting. If one deserving coach doesn't get a parade, "It's a CRYING SHAME", but when another deserving coach doesn't get a parade, "it would be in poor taste". I just don't feel the same emotional outrage given for both of these coaches. But seriously, both very deserving of more recognition than they received. Quote
