Why Loyola coach stepped down

There's no use pretending that the Loyola Marymount basketball team, winless this season, has much of a chance against UCLA tonight. Even the Lions' acting coach, the ironically named Max Good, acknowledges: "On paper, it's certainly a mismatch." But nothing the 14th-ranked Bruins might do to his players, no lopsided score, could compare to what they have already endured. They have lost 10 games in a row. So many of them have fallen to injury that, at a recent game, the athletic director swore he counted more players in street clothes than in uniform.

So, he stepped down because his players are injured? That sounds like a quitter's excuse to me.

Joekidd1992, a wise man once said, "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt." If you actually read the article you'd know that the injuries are not the explicit reason he had to take a leave of absence.
