Well if you really know how to play tennis you really don't need a coach to get in the way of your game. Obvioud that our womens team proved that.

I think the most important work experience required is a drivers license and the ability to make a waffle at the Hampton Inn.

Strange situation. The "beat writer" writes a lengthy recap of the season without addressing the most curious thing about it: why did the coach get fired. then this: "The “head coach” for the last 5 matches of the year was Neil Behrman. Behrman is the father of third-year Isabelle Berhman who is on the team, and he had previously coached high school tennis in the area. Even though I was prohibited by Ball State Athletics from ever interviewing Behrman after a match, he did an incredible job of stepping into an impossible situation." This guy has a bright future in journalism, which these days is focused on promoting the establishment narrative and pushing the approved political agendas without asking a lot of embarrassing and annoying questions.

So, Mr. Behrman was our own Shooter Flatch?
Did he have to be some sort of temporary university employee to legally be associated with the “coaching” duties?

Health and safety concerns about handling injury and allegations of exceeding various NCAA workload rules were at the heart of it.
According to the story, there were apparently player and parent complaints, including the serious ones related to injury and even about his driving.

It’s never occurred to me to judge our basketball coaches on their driving skills. That’s a concept with some promise….I like it
Who says women’s sports are entirely worthless?

And the strategy he used? The picket fence. He then told the ladies “don’t get caught watchin’ the paint dry.” Got us championship.

A lot of our athletic travel is by van.
Usually BSU will only release a university vehicle to an employee.

Norris fired for 'health and safety' violations MUNCIE, Ind. —Max Norris will not be returning to coach Ball State women's tennis. BSU's Office of General Council responded to The Star Press' public records request regarding the results of the university's "internal review" that placed Norris on administrative leave in late February. The request stated that Norris' one-year contract was terminated before its expiration on June 30 because "the university concluded that Mr. Norris's conduct and coaching practices, primarily during 2022, posed a serious risk to the health and safety of our student-athletes." Here are the specific findings from the university's investigation, according to the record: Norris directed, permitted or engaged in behaviors that caused the team to exceed the NCAA's permissible daily and weekly hour limitations, both during and outside the playing season. Norris directed, permitted or engaged in behaviors that caused the team to violate rules regarding the NCAA's permissible voluntary athletically-related activities and its permissible countable athletically-related activities prohibited after competition. Norris directed, permitted or engaged in behaviors that caused the team to violate the NCAA's rules and guidelines regarding the authority of sports medicine staff. Norris failed to promptly follow the university's concussion management plan. In addition to those determined rule and guideline violations, the record also added that Norris' termination was also due to "the review of reliable reports regarding unsafe driving practices and overall poor management of injuries," which were reported to the NCAA. www.thestarpress.com/story/sports/college/ball-state/2023/05/18/bsu-womens-tennis-max-norris-fired-for-health-and-safety-violations/70233506007/
