Interim Head Coach of the LSU Women's Basketball program, Bob Starkey, might be in line to cause more trouble at LSU, or so one would think. With his star forward/center Sylvia Fowles in foul trouble and the Tigers about to be shown the door of the WNCAA Tournament, Starkey pulled a Knight when he lightly slapped Fowles on the chin to give her "confidence."
I truly don't see how this is any different than the "chin up" move Bobby Knight was accused of earlier in the season. Now with this stated opinion, I also wonder as to why this striking received very little coverage. Lets be honest, there was none and I couldnt find a single article about it.
So again, the theme of gender marking arrupts on a program that really didnt need anymore attention. I am sure that Pokey is happy to be out the limelight for the moment. What do you think?
