OK Coach

[BrunswickDawg]

Has he had any discipline problems before last night? If yes- I send him packing

If no- I talk to the coach he had the problem with and ask what happened. I see what the coach wants done. If the coach wants him gone- I send him packing. If not- I bring him in and explain how the behavior will not be tolerated in our program. He better be damn glad his teammates grabbed him and saved his college career. Then I explain to him how he will wake up at 5am and meet one of the asst strength coaches for extra work for the next 21 days if he wants to remain in the program.

I'll give guys a little bit of a benefit of the doubt when it comes to crazy emotions in games. The head slap was something that happens all the time. The guy was too keyed up - but we don't know what triggered the emotion on the sideline. The coach could have easily called him a dumb MF'er and an already keyed up kid let the emotions get the better of him. Shit happens - and it happens in all programs. I'm one of the more docile people you will ever meet, but people who saw me on the baseball field know I can be a very different person in game and be an over aggressive, in your face ass on the diamond. If you were a middle infielder, you better hope you didn't piss me off because I would come at you spikes flying on a play at 2B.

That's a good point. We fans forget that the players have humanity in addition to their skills. They get blasted every time they are other than perfect. Sure he should have cut left. With one extra eye, he would have seen that too . . .
