What a shame. It feels like America is on the decline seeing stuff like this. Polos are just amateurish on college basketball coaches, and make them look like small-time, which reflect poorly on their schools and conferences.

Suits convey an image on everyone who wears them. They convey images of wheeling and dealing, and power.

I’m surprised that a conference mandates coaching outfits. If a coach wants to wear a suit Ike Mike Nolan or dress like Bill Bellichick or Bill Snyder, it should be their own prerogative.

I could careless if a coach wears a suit or not. NFL coaches wore them too at one point. It’s sports wearing a suit is overkill. Plus smart on the ACC. They don’t offer coaches suits in the gift shop but they can the coaches polo!

I've thought wearing suits is rather stupid. Most coaches have the jacket off within two seconds anyways. How about you let coaches dress how they want?

It's basketball not a board meeting discussing a hostile cooperate takeover. Polos will due

Less likely to catch COVID in a polo than a suit. Good call ACC

Why vote? Shouldn’t the head coach just wear whatever he wants?

I’m having a hard time deciding if you are being serious with this.

No, a fleece vest with your bank or fund’s logo on it does

If Bill Belichick were my team’s coach I wouldn’t care what he wore. If Adam Gase were my team’s coach and he dressed like Bill Belichick I’d find it completely unacceptable.

"ACC coaches told by their apparel sponsors if they want money from merch deals they have to vote to wear branded polos."
