For NBA coaches, every game is casual Friday. Will suits ever return to sidelines?

About the same time defense returns. Each NBA game is a copy of an All Star Game in the 90’s.

I lost all interest in the NBA when Bird,Parish (aka: “Chief”),McHale and DJ left the Celtics.

Styles change. As long as people dress somewhat appropriately I’m good with that. But yes there are too many slobs who slobbify the nation.

Just so long as they don’t go all baseball on us and start wearing their team’s little shorts and singlets, I’m okay.
To: MinorityRepublican
Barely related: Burt Shotton and Connie Mack were last MLB managers to wear suits, around 1950.
Rules now are uniforms (or the appearance of) required to set foot on playing field.

Yep, showing my age here, I know—but I remember when most men wore suits at public events and ladies wore dresses.
Now ‘slob’ is the new fashion—along with tattoos, nose rings, tongue rings, spiked hair and colored hair.
We sure have come a long way!

I’ve always thought it was ridiculous that the coach of manager of an athletic team would dress in expensive suits.
Running and jumping on the sidelines, along with wild gesticulations and profanities, are the antithesis of stylish and cultured.
Either dial back the drama or dress like a sweaty laborer.

If I had the money to buy a professional sports team, with exception of baseball, the head coach would wear a suit and tie where appropriate. Shirtsleeves and tie when it its hot out. Baseball coaches have to wear the team uniform. Have to.

They still wear suits in the NHL and the Premier League.

Suits were at the end of a centuries-long march. If suits return it will require the same process.

“Slobbified”. The spell checker doesn’t like that word, but I do.
