On This Day | Good Should Be Better
Author

The whole gist of the thing is this: Mr. Good, if he is a gentleman, should seek a different occupation. He should have respect enough for the conference to realize how detrimental he is to the good name it has acquired; he should have respect enough to realize that while he is a fine cage mentor, he is definitely teaching his boys more harm than good; and he should have the desire to keep a little self-respect for himself.

Why We Chose It
This, as the article states, originally came from the Renville County Farmer and from a newspaper family that is still mingling in North Dakota and the news business today. And it’s easy to see why. This was a courageous editorial, and a clear call from the local news to point out a wrong that needed to be corrected. Kudos to editor for writing it and to The Independent for republishing where it mattered most.
It’s also a good reminder as tournament season gets going. Coaches and fans alike are all role models for today’s young athletes and they are watching. Make what you teach them worth celebrating rather than something that needs to be chastised.
