"'They work hard in class and out of class," says Karen Kitching, an associate professor in the School of Business who has participated in the program two years in a row. 'College basketball is serious business, and practice is intense. I don't believe most academics understand how difficult it is for a student to miss class because of the travel and have to make up that work on a bus.'
Paulsen agrees, noting that sideline coaching isn't about fulfilling a basketball fan's dream experience but about getting a glimpse into the work ethic of student-athletes. 'They still have to go to class and write the papers, but the athletic staff are with them two hours a day, six days a week, six months a year, for four years,' Paulsen says. 'We're teaching perseverance, leadership, communication skills, and dealing with success (and failure).'"
