What Was He Thinking?

From ChannelOklahoma.com:

The University of Oklahoma will wait until after the season to begin seeking a replacement for baseball coach Larry Cochell, who resigned for using a racial slur while praising a black player.

Sunny Golloway, an assistant under Cochell, will act as interim head coach, associate athletic director Kenny Mossman said Monday.

ESPN reported Friday that before a Tuesday telecast of the Oklahoma-Wichita State game, Cochell, in describing a freshman outfielder, said "There's no n----- in him."

It also reported that he said in a separate interview:      "There are honkies and white people and there are n------ and black people. (My player) is a good black kid."

What was he thinking?  Now former coach Cochell has more time to think about other things, like the blockage in his arteries.

What's sad is that I'm sure he has no idea why what he said was bigoted.How condescending!

Yup. A good player is a good player, regardless of his color.
