"If you get fired for cheating, you can get hired right back again,??? he said.
???If you get fired for losing, it??™s like you??™ve got leprosy, so young coaches
need to bear that in mind. Cheating and not graduating players will not get
you in trouble, but that d-a-m-n losing. ...???
"But this week??™s coaching changes brought Waltman??™s sentiments to life:
Holy Cross fired Coach Sean Kearney after one season on Tuesday for losing
too much.
And Texas-El Paso hired Tim Floyd, who resigned at U.S.C. in the wake of
allegations of N.C.A.A. rules violations. U.S.C. vacated 21 wins and imposed a
one-scholarship ban because of what happened under Floyd??™s watch."
On Tuesday, Boston College parted ways with Al Skinner, who had reached
the N.C.A.A. tournament seven times in the past 10 years but was 15-16 this
season.
Norm Roberts, credited with cleaning up an N.C.A.A. mess at St. John??™s and
stabilizing the program, was also fired last month for not winning enough.
..(Waltman's) message came across: Cheats prosper and losers get leprosy."
