Prince of a guy

You have to give K-State coach Ron Prince this: He is always interesting.

Last week when the offense didn't perform well in practice, he made the players run stairs. But Prince not only made the players run stairs, he made the offensive assistants run as well. Maybe it will all work out for Prince and the Wildcats, but I have to wonder about this latest development.

Assistant coaches need to be respected by the players just as the head coach does. They don't have to always like the coaches, but they need to respect them. Making the assistants run the stairs puts them on the same level as the players. That might make the players like the assistants, but it doesn't help any in the respect area.

In any event, it will be interesting to see how the K-State season shakes out. If things go south, Prince may give us a lot more to talk about.
