Coaches who buy slack

Steve Shields is a good example of the type of coach who buys himself goodwill with the administration and with some portion of the fan base. A coach who runs a clean program and has a minimum of off-the-court problems will get the benefit of the doubt from his bosses. That perhaps explains a lot about Shields' longevity at Little Rock.And a lot of fans appreciate being able to root for that type of program. Of course, there are also those fans who couldn't care less about a clean program, as long as it wins.
