From Morning Briefing in the Los Angeles Times:
Many were surprised by the revelation last week that former Nevada Las Vegas associate basketball coach Glynn Cyprien had followed in the footsteps of George O’Leary.
Seems Cyprien, who left UNLV for Oklahoma State, had stated on his resume that he graduated from Texas San Antonio. Cyprien, who was dismissed from his first head-coaching position at Louisiana Lafayette when the discrepancy was brought to the attention of officials there, actually was sporting a degree from a non-accredited university on the Internet.
“Which leads one to wonder,” wrote Joe Hawk of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, “How educated do you have to be to coach?”
More Hawk: “The smartest suggestion we’ve heard with regard to those found to have falsified their resumes: Rather than fire the guilty, make them complete their degrees at the schools where they’re employed. In other words, make them get up and go to class — just like their players — and force them to get their diplomas by walking in graduation. We would follow up by demanding the coaches have the cost of their ‘continuing’ education deducted from their salaries.”
Well I’m sure that if Glynn Cyprien had went to college he would have went to Texas San Antonio.
