Football and baseball coaches don't wear suits. Why is basketball so formal?

That is a good question. now baseball coaches wear uniforms because back in the day the coach used to be a player but for baskeball I don't know and i would like to know the answer.

Coaches must wear a suit to games because it is a rule. Just like how the players now have to wear a suit instead of normal casual clothes. This is all because of David Stern who made the rule. He probably wanted this sport to look more organized.To me this is not a pretty bad rule, at all.

it's probably an endorsement deal. they wear a certain brand of suit, and get paid by the company for doing so. basketball coaches don't make as much as football coaches, so they do a lot of little endorsement gigs for a few extra bucks.

It makes the coaching team more proffesional, plus it does get cold in the arenas, baseball coaches are in a ditch for petes stake lol asnd it gets hot like fire in there, so it's either wear shorts and a t-shirt or team uniform I guess.

I'm not sure why they wear suits but hockey also wears suits. Maybe its because they are inside.

I've been wondering the same thing. I guess since they are indoors, they have to be more formal than in baseball or football.
