(Posted on 1/24/13 at 7:02 pm) Had CNN on the TV in the backgroung and they were doing a segment on Teo, wasn't really watching the story. They were interviewing a coach and the guys says 'As the coach of Nevada I'm Ok with an openly gay player as long as he doing good in the class room, up holding....' Didn't catch what was said before that, but was just kind of surprised that a 1st year HC would go on national tv and say that. ETA;just curious if anyone was watching that piece?

Not to get political at all, but I would have no problem saying that anywhere.

His tolerance and not having a backwards mindset is so refreshing. The fact that you were surprised speaks volumes
