NDSU study examines coaches' gamesmanship N O
FARGO - A new study by a "There is conundrum of what we
North Dakota State University fac-
ulty member gives insight into the
ethics of high school coaches in
North Dakota.
The study, "Gamesmanship Be-
liefs of High School Coaches," by
Brad Strand, professor of health,
nutrition and exercise sciences, re-
cently was published in the Interna-
tional Journal of Research in
Health, Physical Education, Recre-
ation, Sport and Dance.
Strand surveyed 256 coaches
from across the state on 25 different
scenarios dealing with gamesman-
ship, which is defined as the art or
practice of winning games by ques-
tionable means without actually
breaking the rules.
On one end of the scale, fewer
than 1 percent of coaches feel it is
acceptable to use profanity to moti-
vate a player; for bench players to
boo, taunt or jeer opponents; fora
player to do a showboat dance after
scoring; or to attack a pre-existing
injury of the other team's top player.
"Coaches in North Dakota are
well prepared and are very ethical.
They are trying to do the right thing
for the boys and girls they work
with. There's an example here and
there of someone who crosses the
line, but the results suggest this
does not happen much," Strand
said. "Having watched high school
coaches in North Dakota, you don't
see a lot of unethical gamesmanship
action. The results support what I
Brad Strand
thought of our coaches."
Some questionable situations
had some support among coaches.
For instance, 23.3 percent said it is
acceptable for a hockey coach to
send in a player to intimidate oppo-
nents and protect his teammates. A
total of 14.5 percent said it is ac-
ceptable to have a groundskeeper
soak the field in an effort to slow
down an opposing football team.
Scenarios dealing with decisions
of referees or umpires are more
challenging. Nearly half, 48.8 per-
cent, said it was acceptable in vol-
leyball to take the winning point
even though a player touched the
ball before it went out and the ref-
eree missed the call.
believe we should be doing and
what actually happens when we get
in the heat of battle. But I think
North Dakota coaches are above
board in most of their actions,"
Strand said, noting the pressure to
win can be a factor. "On paper, they
can say a certain action is unaccept-
able, but it can be different when
the game is on the line."
An earlier study by Strand
looked at gamesmanship attitudes
of high school athletes. "There was
a statistically significant difference
to almost every one of the ques-
tions. The athletes believe many of
the actions dealing with gamesman-
ship were much more acceptable
than the coaches do," he said.
Strand suggests those differences
show the significance of education
and appropriate training for
coaches.
"It's important that we teach
young coaches how to build charac-
ter in their athletes. We need to help
prepare boys and girls for a lifetime
of good character," Strand said.
"The results of this study support
that belief."
Strand, who joined the NDSU
faculty in 1996, earned his bache-
lor's degree at Mayville State Uni-
versity, master's degree in education
with an emphasis in physical edu-
cation from NDSU and his doctor-
ate in curriculum and instruction of
physical education from the Uni-
versity of New Mexico.

Deer d
Wildlife biologists believe re-
cent reports of white-tailed deer
deaths in western North Dakota
could indicate the presence of epi-
zootic hemorrhagic disease.
Dr. Dan Grove, State Game and
Fish Department wildlife veteri-
narian, said the reports have char-
acteristics similar to previous EHD
events, and initial necropsy results
on a freshly dead deer from
Burleigh County indicate the po-
tential presence of EHD.
"Deer losses to EHD occur pe-
riodically," Grove said. "Some-
times the incidents are isolated and
affect few animals, and in other
cases the disease is spread over a
large geographic region."
As of Aug. 28, less than 20 dead
deer have been reported to the de-
partment in three counties - Bow-
man, Grant and Burleigh.
However, the typical range where
EHD is found in North Dakota is
southwest of the Missouri River,
and in large outbreaks most coun-
ties in this region are affected.
Game and Fish is urging bow
hunters and elk hunters in the field
in early September to report any
observations of dead deer, Grove
said, and to report locations
quickly so biologists can gauge
distribution and severity. "To iso-
late the EHD virus, the animal can-
not have been dead for more than
24 hours," he added.

Charles Stevens, professor of man-

reason you see fewer unions is be:
cause some of them have consolidated

Stevens said the unique part of
North Dakota United is that it brings

schools and higher education. A1-

said. "At the very least, we will

EHD primarily affects white-
tailed deer, and is most noticeable
in western North Dakota when
high whitetail populations combine
with a hot and humid late summer
and early fall. Most deer that die
from this are infected before the
first hard frost, which kills the bit-
ing midges that spread the disease,
Grove said.

significant deer deaths from EHD
was 2011.
EHD causes dehydration and a
high body temperature, causing
deer to seek water prior to death.
Other clinical and behavior symp-
toms may include respiratory dis-
tress; swelling of head, neck, and
tongue; lesions on tongue and roof
of mouth; indifference to humans;
and in later stages, hemorrhaging
from body orifices.
EHD is not a danger to humans.
However, hunters should not shoot
or consume a deer if it appears
sick.
Hunters should report any dead
deer observations to the Game and
Fish Department at ndgf@nd.gov,
or (701) 328-6351.
