“It’s no easy feat coming here and beating the Brumbies at home.”

Kelvin Sampson, the 69-year-old Houston coach, wore suits on the sideline for decades before the pandemic. Though he’d be in a full suit at tipoff, he’d famously rip off his tie before the first TV timeout in almost every game while coaching at Oklahoma and Indiana.Though casual wear is the norm for college coaches these days, Sampson admits he might have taken it a bit too far. He said that Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd, a quarter-zip-wearer himself, once chided him for wearing sweatpants on the sideline.

“I really hadn’t noticed that I was wearing sweatpants,” Sampson said. “So, I went to more of … I guess athletic slacks, whatever they call it golf pants, whatever. So, people get on me for the way I look on the sidelines sometimes, but I don’t really care.”On the women’s side some of the male coaches have adopted a more casual look since the pandemic. But the style of many of the female coaches has become part of the game narrative, led by Ivey, Staley and Mulkey.Staley has become a style icon in the last few years as her team has won two of the last three national titles. The former standout player was photographed on the front row at the Gucci show sitting alongside NFL star

at Milan Fashion Week last year.“I dress for comfort. Anything I wear I’m comfortable, like I could probably have on the entire day,” Staley said. “So it’s more geared to comfort. I’m so glad I don’t have to wear heels anymore.”

Staley doesn’t know what people will see her don next.

“I will try on an outfit. If it’s really nice, I might save it for a later round,” she said. “Sometimes I haven’t been able to wear them because we don’t advance. But I have quite a few just ideas. I can’t wait until the season is over because I can clean my closet. It’s not in a good position right now.”but this time smashes together characters and plot lines from several of the books in a way that is hard to follow even for fans.

It starts as the origin story — a policeman’s body is sewed onto the head of his faithful dog after a bomb blast — and then we get the supervillain Petey the Cat, his adorable clone Li’l Petey, the chief of police and the mayor, the psychokinetic fish Flippy, the 80-Hexotron Droid-Formigon robot, a pushy TV reporter and buildings coming alive. It leans a lot on 2017’s “A Tale of Two Kittens,” the third book in the Dog Man series.The spareness of the graphic novels is gone and we get an interior life for Dog Man, including a sort of weird tangent about his depression over losing his past life. Fans get a look inside his doghouse — who was expecting a piano, a grandfather clock or a gramophone? — and there’s lots of licking and chasing squirrels. Typical humor: A sign at an active volcano that reads: “No lifeguard on duty.”

At the movie’s heart is a story as old as time — good versus evil — and which will Li’l Petey pick. His father, Petey, is a supervillain who needs Prozac — “The world is a horrible place. That’s just reality,” he tells his son — but Dog Man offers a sweet alternative. Will Li’l Petey chose blood over stability? Will love turn Petey to the good side?The filmmakers try to capture some of the anarchic qualities of the comics, like adding “Dun, Dun Dunnn” in large letters on the screen at a dramatic moment, but they’re trying too hard and the humor is restrained. It needs more zany.
