2 weeks without pay equates to $15,000 on Williams' new contract.
I figured some type of suspension was inevitable, but it seems like it is punishing the players and the team more than Williams.
it can be used as a lesson. Like Bo Pelini, in his finest moments as coach at Nebraska, explained after the 2011 Penn st. game. The game shouldntve been played. Does it "punish the players"? Well sure. But that's still gotta be seen as the point. Education. As a coach, you never let of the gas in terms of teaching. Everything that happens, good and bad, needs to be used as a teachable offense. That's the case here. And, if youre truly promoting team concept, win as a team lose as a team, and coaches are part of a team. Sometimes the opportunity to educate young 20 year old men who are playing a game at a level that seemingly puts them on top of the world trumps this mythical right to play.Disciplining an individual that is part of a team is always going to punish the team as well. I don't see a way around it.2 weeks without pay equates to $15,000 on Williams' new contract.
