I know why CFH is not wearing ties this year on the sidelines!

What a weird argument you're making. "I wear ties all the time and my heart is fine!" Might wanna check out this story if you have the chance. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/24/s...d-hoiberg-coaches-despite-heart-problems.html

Fred's heart doesn't need any extra challenges

The only weird argument being made here is you making an argument based on what you're thinking whilst sitting in your chair...which is based on arguably less fact than what my feeble argument is based upon.

That being said, let me paraphrase what you are attempting to state...Fred doesn't wear a tie because the tie itself is too constrictive, thus causing his heart to work too hard.

You mean to tell me, the rigors of his job, his family and all other influences in his life are simply the pinnacle and that the necktie is the proverbial final straw?

From the article...“If I would’ve thought there was any risk involved in this job, I would’ve never taken it,” Hoiberg said. “My family’s too important to me.

Doesn't really explain the tie theory in the past few years. As I stated earlier, neither you, nor I, are experts enough to validate this "theory"...I'm simply stating I think it's hogwash. Not to mention, from the same article, I present the photo...in which you clearly see space in and around his neck.

Makes sense, I don't claim to know whether it's valid or not. I suppose I shouldn't have expected too much from a mcdrier thread where he claims to know something without any support for knowing it. WallenIzBallin did claim to know that it was heart related and he has some connections on the team so I would probably guess that is the reason why.

My point really is that if Fred and his doctor decided he shouldn't wear a tie, then no message board poster should jump in claiming to know better. I think it's plausible that is the case.
