College Golf Coach Wants To Introduce "Coaching Opportunities"

For the "What College Coaches With Too Much Time And Money On Their Hands Files"...

Ryan Herrington reports that Oklahoma men's coach Ryan Hybl, not content enough with taking five players out of class to post the four best scores possible in the name of Division I college golf, wants to bring another player along to justify his existence.

Hybl, however, believes any discussion of a substitution rule should not be limited to just replacing injured players. It should also explore allowing coaches to make changes in their starting lineups based on performance. Again, like a basketball coach who pulls a guard who is having a poor shooting night, why shouldn't a college golf coach be able to make a change in an effort to improve his team's chances of success?

Allowing subs could potentially create more playing opportunities for the golfers, and players who wouldn't be competing could follow their teammates along with the coach and learn from watching while also becoming more invested in the team dynamic.

"Are they really getting any better by being left at home?" Hybl wonders. "How is that helping our programs?"

Uh, they could be at class instead of learning how to watch coaches drive carts around the course?

Oh right, this just confirms that at the likes of Oklahoma that college stuff is just an accessory to the golf.
