Editor Ark. Student Paper unkind to Heath

[Brad]

Leadership at the football team was not the only faulty one. Nice guy Stan Heath might have impressed a committee of people looking to replace Nolan Richardson in 2002. But it was a shame when he couldn't live up to the potential the committee saw in him.

To his credit, Heath did one thing right: he recruited some of the best in the game of college basketball. Not knowing how to motivate them and not knowing how to make them work well as a team were two deadly flaws. Because of this, he lost the respect of some of his players, and eventually his job.

Though he said he did not want to depend on freshman Patrick Beverley, it was that type of individual talent - not Heath's leadership - that carried the team to a surprise NCAA Tournament appearance this year.

Well would you expect any coach fired by a school to normally get an love from its fans?

Probably not, no big deal.

Especially from a student newspaper - we have a few issues with our own from time to time.
