Creative problem-solving

Problem: You're an East Texas college football coach (A & M - Commerce), and two of your players have been arrested on drug charges. Worse yet, a story about the arrest is on the front page of the college newspaper.

Solution: After practice, have the team go around to the racks and steal every copy of the newspaper. Problem solved!

Icing on the cake: Tell the campus police, "I am proud of my players for doing that. This was the best team building exercise we have ever done."

Bonus quote: The athletic director, having heard that the newspapers had been stolen, immediately suspected the coach of organizing the activity because he "didn't think they were smart enough to do this on their own."
