This came out last weekend, but may be worth everyone watching.
I get so sick of this stuff. Sports teams are neither families or brotherhoods. They just aren't. They are competitive organizations that have a specific goal - winning - and should have that in mind more then what the relationships of the players and coaches are. In this, though not in much else, they bear a resemblance to military organizations. Like those the shared experience is something people tend to look back on fondly, but it isn't rare at all for members of athletic teams to completely lose touch with each other and their coaches pretty much the minute they graduate.
But if it sells to the kids, I suppose this is ok. My football teams and coaches would have just snickered and gone about their business.
