Coach Lou Holtz
of the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame is quickly becoming legendary in his adherence
to discipline.

“When it comes
to discipline here,” Holtz says, “We ask three questions: Will it
make him a better man? A better student? A better athlete? If the answer is
yes, we make him do it. The next step is up to him. An individual has a choice
when you discipline him: either to become bitter or better.”

Judging by his
squad’s record, Lou Holtz’s charges have become better men.
