What should basketball coaches wear

As the NBA leaves the bubble environment to travel and plays its games in team arenas, there are no longer concerns among older coaches in the league that they could be restricted from participating in the season.

Ahead of the NBA's summer restart in a bubble at Walt Disney World Resort, the league created a medical review process in which an independent panel could flag anyone deemed high risk of serious coronavirus infection -- and then unilaterally prohibit that person from attending in Orlando. Several and-older coaches feared the policy would end up targeting them, jeopardizing their participation in the restart and even their future employment opportunities, sources told ESPN at the time.

Age has been considered one risk factor, among many others, for worse coronavirus outcomes. Under the league's guidelines for the Orlando restart, every participant -- players, coaches, staff -- was subject to the medical review, which considered preexisting health conditions and other risk factors beyond age.

Despite that broader purview, employment law experts told ESPN the review process and unilateral prohibitions on attendance could run afoul of employment discrimination laws. Several argued that in setting up what turned out to be a secure bubble, the NBA had reduced risk to the point that the choice of attending should be left up to individuals. In the lead-up to the season, the dynamic has largely flipped. After setting up that medical review process for Orlando, the NBA is leaving the decision of whether to participate in the coming season -- which will not take place in a bubble -- to each individual.

Teams will be playing in home arenas, traveling from city to city on planes and staying in hotels. The NBA's health and safety guidelines state that if a coach or staff member elects to withdraw from the season, the decision of whether and how to compensate that person will be up to his or her team. There is a separate process, crafted via collective bargaining between the league and the players' union, for any player who wishes to withdraw.

They will receive some portion of their salary. Bob Knight and his red sweater were inseparable. George Raveling was wearing a tracksuit on game days at Iowa in the s, well before Bob Huggins made the look cool. Everything has changed. I really do. He sensed his team was tight going into a game at North Carolina on Jan. At the College and NBA, they are required to wear a sports coat at the least.

This is their job, they want to be respected and taken seriously, they dress accordingly. Going to dinner dress in a suit. No one will ever frown upon it but I bet you will get the respect that you may not otherwise think. They select up to 10 suits and designs that accompany their style that each coach is looking for. It was well perceived early in the 20th century that wearing a suit meant you had power or you were in charge. There are many benefits to wearing a suit.

It reminds me of a study also done on the color red and playing sports. The color red was feared by the opposition. Back to the study on suits and formal wear. The study suggested that people who wore formal attire would change the way they think. When you put on a suit you would feel more powerful, you are changing your thinking just by putting on a suit people thought more openly and holistically. Practice jerseys or pinnies are good to have to help distinguish offenses from defenses during drills and play as well.
