Most of us know quite a bit about JB.  We know that he was brought up very strictly.  There were high, but unspoken expectations, and there was no coddling what-so-ever.  That is how JB runs our program.  He does not coddle players or staff.  He expects them to perform.  However, there are now so many players and so much staff that there needs to be more emphasis on control.  Unfortunately, some players and staff should be treated as if they cannot be trusted to behave appropriately; but that is not JB's style.

There is too much cheating and that is why the NCAA rightfully wants tighter institutional control.  Most fans reflectively blame all our problems on the NCAA.  Fact is that our institutional control was not as tight as it might have been if JB were a tyrannical, vindictive micromanager that struck fear in the heart of players and staff, and that is why we are now suffering.  There needs to be a happy medium between overbearing and delegation based on expectations of responsible behavior.
