Dooley bans cell phones

Louisiana Tech football coach Derek Dooley has set about installing a disclipline program for his student-athletes, including a ban on cell telephones in the field house. The coach doesn't want any disruptions in team meetings and he wants his players to set a good example. He also plans to have an acceptable standard of dress.

"There is a certain level of discipline expected by the alums," Dooley said at the Willie Roaf Social on Thursday night. "These guys have to know that they don't just represent themselves. They also represent this university."

If only all college and high school coaches would follow that mantra.
