Title: "Troubled Players Need More Than Justice System"

Texas Longhorns Coach Charlie Strong gets it.

Quote"A lot of times (coaches) think, 'Well I can help him.' But are they helping him?" Strong said in an interview with ESPN while visiting the network's main campus. "If you see a young man with issues, you have to surround him with enough people to help change his life. If you can't surround him with enough people to help change his life, you can say all you want, but the kid is never going to change."

Strong has taken a hard stance on discipline since taking over at Texas last season.

"There is no way a guy should hit a woman," he said. "There is no reason for it. If it happens, you need to find somewhere else to play. It isn't hard. Sometimes people think it's hard. You have values. Treat women with respect. No drugs. No weapons. How hard is that? I don't get it."

I like it. I  know Saban took a guy this year that had domestic abuse issues and was given a 0 strikes and you are out.

The girl later recanted and said she made it up because she was pissed at him for something.
