    If this pal is your only anonymous source, I probably wouldn't run with it at all. Rule of thumb at our paper is, if the sources are anonymous, you need AT MINIMUM two of them telling you the same thing. Three would be better.

    Now, if your anonymous source is Coach himself, it's OK to go with that on its own.
