Coach Dennis?


by Marcel Mutoni

Until the NBA does the smart thing, and puts him in the Hall of Fame, Dennis Rodman is apparently going to do his best to keep his name in the news. No, he’s not cross-dressing, dating a trashy celeb, or promoting another poorly written book. Instead, Dennis the Menace wants to coach a WNBA team. From the AJC:

“I love the city of Atlanta,” Rodman said through a spokesman, adding that he’s spent a lot of time here recently. “… Atlanta would be the ideal situation, starting from scratch.”

Party pooper Ron Terwilliger, also known as the owner of Atlanta’s new WNBA franchise, isn’t exactly enthused about the idea.

“We need someone who knows the league, knows how it works, knows the players and knows the college talent coming up,” Terwilliger said. “And we’d prefer to have a women’s coach since it’s a women’s league.”

Um, mr. Terwilliger, have you ever seen Dennis in drag? Hell, I’ll bet he could pass for a woman better than some of the players in your League … uh, never mind.

I can’t think of any joke that would be funnier than the actual scenario. Who’s LESS likely than Rodman to be selected to coach a women’s team? Shawn Kemp? Isiah Thomas? Don Imus?

Rodman? HOF? Really? I would pay money to see him coach, never mind paying money to watch the WNBA

I could tell Dennis was coaching material when he started wearing his nose ring.

Love him or hate him, he does belong in the Hall.

“And we’d prefer to have a women’s coach since it’s a women’s league” Isn’t that discrimination?

Actually, the NBA doesn’t pick who goes into the Hall of Fame. That is why so many NBA players get passed over for a guy who had a good year in international hoops once. It is bogus. The NBA needs to set up its own hall of fame.

I can’t think of anyone one who would be a better role model or more respectful of those young women than coach Dennis.

That last line was not necessary. How ’bout ya’ll stick with letting Goody write all the WNBA stuff. The rest of you have a hard time figuring out what is an appropriate WNBA joke and what is just downright hurtful…
