This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

McLaughlin announcement today? Or lengthy "background check"? by SavageDragon
We've seen in various assistant coach hirings that they've been leaked, tacitly acknowledged, but it's taken weeks of turnaround to finally make the formal hire. I assume that this is some combination of post-O'Leary institutional restrictions plus criminal/sex offender/etc. CYA plans, but it really comes across as quite bush-league when these news items break and yet then sit dormant for many days/weeks -- it certainly can't help institutional relationships, either, considering that UW has the professional courtesy to sit on anything about it, but how long are we going to make them do so (jeopardizing their recruiting, fan perception, etc.)?
