Grateful for Capel
Travis Ford is getting some bad pub. for cussing out his players and calling them idiots. OU fans should be counting their blessing for Capel. In a culture that equates helping with pointing out all the stuff someone is doing wrong, Capel is an exception. Capel coaches instead of scolds, encourages instead of discourages, pumps up instead of knocks down. We've known that positive reinforcement is superior to negative reinforcement since BF Skinner. Why do coaches and teachers and parents continue to try to teach by degrading? Capel seems even more positive following the king of negativity, Kelvin Sampson. Hey Capel, I saw you give that kid an "atta boy"and I appreciate it.
