Classy/Unclassy

Both the winners of this week's Classiest and Unclassiest person of the week award come from the world of college sports.

Classy: Frank Martin - The classiest comment of the week had to come from Kansas State basketball coach Frank Martin, who said as much as it hurts to lose in the Elite Eight, it is going to be pretty fun for Butler the next week and the city of Indianapolis "having one of their own there." Coming off a tough loss in the biggest game in school history, Martin should not have been thinking of anything other than the loss. While many coaches would have ignored a question like that, Martin was classy enough to recognize the "feel good, Cinderella" story Butler represents.
Unclassy: Urban Meyer - University of Florida football coach Urban Meyer threatened to ban and fight an Orlando Sentinel reporter because of a quote from a Florida player critical of Tim Tebow was published in his article. If the player actually said that, he has every right to print it. Urban was way out of line. If anything, Meyer should have been upset with the player for being dumb enough to criticize a QB that only lost two games in as many years as a starter. I guess the time off did not do much for Meyer's stress level. He is turning out to be a bigger jerk every time he makes the news.
