The Resume

    (September 20, 1943- )
    Resides in Waco, Texas
    Assistant coach under Bobby Knight at Army (1967)
    Head Coach for Oklahoma (1975-80)
    Head Coach for SMU (Southern Methodist University) (1980-1988)

    Head Coach for Baylor (1999-2003)

Why he might be annoying:

    He accepted more money to leave New Mexico to coach Baylor.
    He tried to convince his assistant coach and players that homicide victim, Patrick Dennehy, was a drug dealer to investigators (August 2003).
    He allegedly paid for Patrick Dennehy's college tuition to play for Baylor, which is a violation of the NCAA.
    He was heard on secretly recorded tapes that he knew some of his players smoked marijuana and didn't care.
    He ended up resigning from Baylor in August 2003 after major violations in his program were uncovered.
    His assistant coach (Abar Rouse) secretly recorded his conversations, telling the team to lie to investigators about Patrick Dennehy.
    A Waco Texas car dealer told a Dallas Texas newspaper that he helped purchase a black Tahoe for Dennehy, which is against NCAA rules.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was the 92nd coach in NCAA history to reach 500 career wins.
    He appeared in 11 NCAA Tournaments throughout his 27 year career.
    He won 'Coach of the Year' five times in his conference.
    He is a big New York Yankee and New York Giants fan.
    He graduated Cornell.
