Hart's coach on the hot seat

The saga of Kevin Hart, the Nevada offensive lineman who admitted fabricating scholarship offers from California, Oregon, Washington State and others, took another turn over the weekend, with a story that Hart's coach, Mark Hodges, may lose his job.

A local television station reported Friday that the Lyon County School Trustees would recommend that Hodges' contract not be renewed because of unprofessional conduct and fiscal irresponsibility.

Hodges' case might not be helped by the Hart debacle but, unless there are other factors in play, is it really fair to hang a coach with the actions of one rogue kid? On the surface, Hart's deception appears much more a reflection of his character and upbringing than a reflection on Hodges.
