Nevada Coach Decides to Stay Loyal

The University of Nevada-Reno will be keeping their highly touted head coach for the near future. Mark Fox, who has done wonders with the program at Nevada, has opted not to move on to a bigger, higher profile campus, in lieu of staying put in Reno for the time being. Many people considered Fox to be a top candidate for a BCS school. He has certainly earned a good reputation. In the past three years he has won three WAC Coach of the Year Awards and been to the Tourney three times.

In a semi-unrelated topic, I would like to address a habit that sport writers have that really grinds my gears. If you read Gary Parish’s article- and he is a main offender- you will notice the obsessive, annoyingly over-dramatic technique of making one short, simple sentence into a paragraph. I would assume that this construction is meant to make his points more meaningful, but when two-thirds of his paragraphs consist of one sentence, one line statements, his points begin to loose their punch.

And it gets really annoying.

And it’s a cheap way to make your article seem important.

While not actually providing much more information.

Oh, well.
