Even Coaches Make Mistakes. During the WAC Teleconference this week Coach Sonny Lubick suggested he made a mistake in suspending WR Daran Hall last week.

According to Lubick Hall was present at a fight but was not charged by police and Lubick did not believe Hall had been a participant. (September 17, 1998)
