After high school football star Kyler Williams died last month in a car crash, Razorbacks coach Bret Bielema retweeted a photo Williams had posted on Twitter three weeks earlier following a tour of Arkansas campus.The photo showed Williams, a receiver from nearby Springdale High, and Bielema at Razorback Stadium. To his retweet, the coach added this message: Prayers and thoughts to Kyler Williams & his family. Couldnt help but stop & get my picture made with this big smile!Then he started worrying about what hed done.I was just going to tweet out to him and his family, and I thought, `Did I just violate an NCAA rule? Bielema said, choking up. It just made me sick. As a human being, you want to say, `Hey.Though Bielema didnt violate any rule, the incident demonstrates how college football coaches appreciate that Twitter allows them to show their personality to fans and recruits alike, while also remaining wary of its potential drawbacks. The issue has crept up recently as coaches struggle to understand a new NCAA rule change that has some of them using their Twitter accounts more than ever.Under the rule change that took effect in August , athletic department staff members are allowed to retweet or show their approval of social media posts made by recruits. The policy change has been nicknamed Click, Dont Type because coaches still arent allowed to add any sort of comment to a recruits post.NCAA spokeswoman Meghan Durham said that generally speaking, a coach cannot tweet or post a photo of himself with a recruit unless the recruit has signed a formal offer of admission or financial aid, or the post would be considered publicity before signing. But, she added, it isnt a violation to do so as a way of paying tribute to a deceased recruit.The purpose of the rules limiting publicity before signing is to prevent a coach from engaging a fan base or boosters to place additional pressure on the prospect to sign at a given school, Durham said.Plenty of coaches use Twitter, whether theyre capitalizing on the new rule or communicating indirectly with fellow coaches.Michigans Jim Harbaugh called out Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith, Georgia coach Kirby Smart and Tennessee coach Butch Jones on Twitter during the offseason for their comments about his decisions to hold spring practice sessions in Florida and to conduct satellite camps.But tweeting also comes with risks that arent limited to concern about NCAA violations.On the day after Notre Dame lost to Michigan State last month, Fighting Irish coach Brian Kellys Twitter account liked a fans post that recommended the firing of defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder. Kelly said later that it was a mistake made by one of the people who help manage his account, though VanGorder actually was fired the following week.I have a number of people that manage my Twitter account, Kelly said at the time. Obviously going through it, somebody unfortunately made a mistake as they were scrolling through, inadvertently hit it.Duke coach David Cutcliffe says he doesnt give anyone else access to his Twitter account for that very reason.North Carolinas Larry Fedora says other people have access to his Twitter account, but all the tweets posted there are his and his alone. He says he makes sure to close out of Twitter whenever he leaves behind his computer or phone.Anytime you open your account and you leave it open for other staff members, you run the risk of something happening, Fedora said. (It may be) something negative (or) something good, but something could happen.It isnt uncommon for multiple people to help out with a coachs Twitter account.Nebraskas Mike Riley says Cornhuskers director of player personnel Ryan Gunderson tweets on his behalf. Gunderson played quarterback for Riley at Oregon State from 2003-07.We talk about the messages and then `Gundy actually does the work, Riley said. Thats our process here. I need a little bit younger guy to help me out with that.Bielema says Arkansas sports information director Patrick Pierson has access to his Twitter account. Jones says a staff member assists in monitoring his account, though all tweets must be approved by the Tennessee coach.Riley said he and Gunderson try to be really careful as to how we represent ourselves all the time, personally and program-wise and university-wise. Jones said he makes sure to proofread before putting anything on his account.We always think in terms of double-checking, triple-checking before you push a button, Jones said.As far as the rule change allowing coaches to like or retweet prospects posts, some coaches are capitalizing on the new policy more than others.If a guy bases his decision on if you like or retweet his posts, that aint the dude that is going to fit in our program, Arizonas Rich Rodriguez said. If thats his most important decision-making process ... I mean, you want to give him attention, but, I mean, what are we, schoolgirls chasing Justin Bieber?

McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football.

Tracey comes to the Blue Bombers after spending over a decade with Queens University. Most recently he was the schools assistant football coach. FORT WORTH, Texas -- Jamie Dixon didnt even notice that he wasnt introduced before his coaching debut at his alma mater, TCU.He was a little caught up in the fun, weird, strange, different, as he called it in coming back to the school he helped lead as a player to its most recent NCAA Tournament win almost 30 years ago.And before an 82-64 win over the NAIAs St. Thomas on Friday night, Dixon was coming to grips with the fact that he really had left Pittsburgh , where he was head coach the past 13 seasons and on the staff for 17.Seventeen years is a long time, and you only have one way, Dixon said. It just feels so different. Its home, but the arenas so different. I think walking in before was probably the time it really hit me. I think that was it, walking in and walking by the football stadium and walking through here.All that emotion, and no introduction? No welcome home?Maybe thats a tradition here, Dixon said as he chuckled. You guys are laughing. Maybe thats a tradition here. They dont introduce the coach. I dont know. Talk to (athletic director Chris) Del Conte. Hes in charge of that. I think he wanted to introduce it himself.Alex Robinson, a Texas A&M transfer making his debut for the Horned Frogs, led them with 16 points. Karviar Shepherd, one of the holdovers from former coach Trent Johnsons staff, had 14 points and six rebounds.Freshman point guard Jaylen Fisher, the top recruit in Dixons first class, finished with 13 points, seven assists, four steals and a blocked shot to help the Horned Frogs pull away in the second half.This is an exciting year, Shepherd said. New coaches, (Dixon) coming back, alumni, weve got new guys coming in, freshmen. Every years exciting to me, and this years no different.The Celts (0-4) stayed close until the closing minutes of the first half, which endedd with a spinning, buzzer-beating layup from Fisher for a 45-37 lead.ddddddddddddosh Bearden scored 14 points to lead St. Thomas.DOUBLE THE FUNTCU had six players in double figures. Freshman Desmond Bane and Brandon Parrish, another senior holdover, had 12 apiece. JD Miller had 10 points and seven rebounds, which matched St. Thomas Paris Marquez for the game high.SHOOTING EFFICIENCYShepherds 14 points came on just six shots, with four makes, and he was 5 of 6 on free throws. Robinson was 7 of 11 from the field and made all five attempts inside the 3-point line.LONG-RANGE PLANMore than half of St. Thomas field goal attempts were from 3-point range. The Celts were 9 of 29 from beyond the arc and 23 of 53 overall.BIG PICTURESt. Thomas: It was a decent showing for second-year coach Anthony Medinas team. The Celts were within four (41-37) as late as the 1:16 mark of the first half before fading.TCU: Fishers debut was a positive for Dixon. The 6-foot-2 floor leader from suburban Memphis had committed to UNLV before coach Dave Rice was fired last April. Former Rebels assistant Ryan Miller, who is on Dixons staff, had recruited him. The capper on his strong all-around debut was a block from behind when Bearden was going up for a wide-open layup or dunk.UP NEXT:St. Thomas: The Celts will return to Fort Worth to face Texas Wesleyan on Wednesday. There are some other upper-division challenges coming, including Southern on Thanksgiving Day.TCU: The Horned Frogs have three more home games they should win against Alabama State, Jacksonville State and Illinois State before playing at UNLV on Nov. 25. TCU will play either Western Kentucky or Washington the next day in Las Vegas. ' ' '
