Jans Issues An Apology

Post by Rollo83 »

http://www.hustlebelt.com/mac-basketbal ... ns-apology

"On March 21st I made a mistake for which I sincerely apologize. After our final loss of the season I went to a bar to be amongst friends, became intoxicated and proceeded to act in a manner which was inappropriate. I have tried to instill in every student I've coached the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions, and that is what I am trying to do now.

"I have been completely forthcoming and honest with the Bowling Green State University administration during this process. I immediately made efforts to apologize to those offended that evening including the woman who approached me that night to chastise me for my conduct. Although I have already apologized to my wife, my family, my players and coaches, I want to now publicly apologize to everyone else, including any one in the BGSU community who may have been affected by this matter — I am truly sorry.

"Finally, I want to thank BGSU for giving me the opportunity to be its head basketball coach. I plan to use the future months and years to improve myself as an individual and to show them that their faith in me as a coach, and a person, was not unwarranted."

He takes responsibility and I can respect that. I hope Coach Jans all the best in the future. Too bad it didn't work out here.
I proudly chose to be a Falcon and a Falcon I will remain until the end.

Found this to be interesting on the website regarding Joe B. Hall. "Hall is one of only three men to win an NCAA championship as a player (1949- Kentucky) and coach (1978- Kentucky). The only others to achieve this feat are Bob Knight and Dean Smith."

Technically this is true; however, John Wooden won a Helms National Championship title while a player at Purdue 7 years before the NCAA tournament was begun. He, of course, won several titles as coach of UCLA.
