To the editor:

I must comment on Chuck Woodling’s column in Tuesday’s paper regarding the KU and K-State women’s basketball teams not having male assistant coaches. Missing are the statistics about the number of women in assistant coaching positions in men’s basketball. No agenda, just something to think about. Come to think about it, the article lacked statistics on how many women are in sports journalism compared to men, too. No agenda, just something to think about.

A broader look at women’s sports and successful coaches and their mentoring of other women in the coaching field would have been more appropriate, particularly in the very same week that the sports world lost a legend, Kay Yow. Anything else is a divisive step backward.
