Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

Our own Helen has been writing. A lot. And interviewing coaches. Women coaches. In the pros. Are we likely to see more of them? Pat Coyle: "In the last two or three years I've had assistant jobs open, and I haven't had any women apply."

Also from Helen, a long look at Title IX. Florida law prof Nancy Hogshead-Makar: "Back in the 1980's, the NCAA was openly hostile... Now you have the NCAA bending over backwards to support Title IX."

What about those angry college wrestlers? Hogshead-Makar: "They've worked through all three branches of government to weaken Title IX[and] failed repeatedly, on every count. I don't know what their strategy is, but it ain't working."
