Great! Looking forward to the results. I am assuming the coach position will be overwhelmingly negative. As the great Keith Hernandez said on a live broadcast "I'm not saying women belong in the kitchen, but there's no spot for a girl in the dugout."

Done.

Dodgers: General Manager : Ned Colletti Manager/Coach : Joe Torre GM is not the manager/coach and is not in the dugout/on the sidelines. They are responsible for trade talks, signings, contract negotiations, personnel, etc. Manager/Coach coaches the team. Edit: Stazy must have changed the wording right before I took the survey as I thought the confusion was a general manager/coach one.

In soccer (football) the manager is the guy picks the team, buys/sells players, makes substitutions during a match etc. The club coaches are there specifically to focus on training and certain aspects of the game to help the players improve.

Just thought I'd chip in that .02

Thank you! 20% of the feedback has been from females

Yah, it's a course offered by the School of Business at the U of A called "Gender Issues in Organizations". It's basically the business equivalent of gender studies.

Unless she's getting the team sandwiches I dont think she could control a team.

Sorry, I just dont think a woman could control a team of 20-30 year old men. hell, male coaches cant.

One thing I had to assume through the survey is the team was a male team? Not WNBA?

Stazy, they never offered this when I was in BSchool at U of A. Who teaches it? I assume it is an OrgA course (or SMORG I guess they call it now)?

Further, I keep looking out for you there, waiting to give you the secret SF nod, but I do not think we have crossed paths yet (/stalker status).

I find it funny you pointed this out by using the most famous Canadian slang word out there.
