Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

Well, this is unpleasant and sad: Chaminade Julienne High School girls basketball coach Marc Greenberg arrested. Notes the article:
On Jan. 26, Marc N. Greenberg watched his Chaminade Julienne High School girls basketball team lose to Beavercreek High 56-46.

That same day, someone using the screen name bballguy5555@aol.com started a string of 47 lurid computer chat room conversations with investigators posing as teenage girls. The conversations became more sexually explicit as time passed “as he persistently suggested and requested that (the investigator) perform sexual acts for his own gratification,” according to an affidavit filed in federal court May 1.
This is a good a time as any to remind anyone involved in sports that having a clear, proactive policy about appropriate conduct between players and coaches is A MUST. I'm looking at you, WNBA. I'm looking at you, NCAA institutions.I'm looking at you, AAU teams.
