Straight from the dickish coach behavior files: Guy Morris, TAMU-Commerce

Texas A&M Commerce is a commuter school in the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex.

Their head coach, Guy Morriss, had a career record with Baylor and Kentucky of 27-54. He was 5-5 last season, which is a big deal for him, I guess.

Anyway, a couple of his players were busted last month on drug charges. Since this was actually campus news, the student newspaper wrote a story about the situation.

Morriss's players, unhappy that the media would have the audacity to report any news about their team that didn't involve their sterling 5-5 record, apparently took it upon themselves to steal every copy of the newspaper from campus.

Now, student newspapers tend to be free. But if you read the fine print in the staff box, there is usually a disclaimer that the first copy is free and each additional copy is worth, say, 25 or 50 cents.

So, these players stole every copy of the paper so that no one would know about the crime.

Well, it turns out that because of the ignorance of the players, now more people know about it.

Upon finding out what his players did, Morriss said, "I’m proud of my players for doing that. This was the best team building exercise we have ever done."

Wow.

What does that say about you, Guy Morriss, that committing a crime is the best team builder you can think of?

A frat did this at Carolina. Actually my best friends' frat. Not the most intelligent move but hey unlike TAMU-Commerce the Daily Tar Heel was able to print out more copies when they realized they're papers were gone.
