Taylor's Vestiture

[jackwebster]

I've been hesitant to attribute the pokes' early season success to any technical training changes made by Taylor and co. I assumed that the team's aggressiveness, bonus point pushes, and ability to get off the bottom have been a result of a general excitement following regime change. We are still seeing elbow ties, an abundance of stutter steps in space, and shin whizzers or bust (not too many busts at this point). But then I noticed something: None of the coaches are wearing vests. Even Caldwell has abandoned the Stillwater sartorial staple. The trainer is the only holdout.

Who knew ... Weiberg could have saved a $million by changing the dress code and requiring sleeves.

Sometimes you have to shake things up you know? Wardrobe, haircut, coaching change, maybe take an adult ed class after work…

I have to admit, I just clicked here to find out what a vestiture is.

Shouldn't it be diVestiture?

If Taylor really wanted to switch things up, he'd wear no vest and only sleeves

Imagine the Pokes' coaching staff pulling up in this fit. To any of the older generation guys, no coach actually wore a singlet in practice did they?

No

My dad used to coach girls' basketball at Webster HS in Tulsa. He told me that the wrestling coach, one Rodney Jones, used to strut out of practice during the middle of his games with just a singlet on, the old freestyle kind, with the straps down.

Pretty sure. Dad said he was an AA at OU and strutted around like a "Billy badass" ... meant derisively, of course. This had to have been in the late 70's, early 80's.
