Hawks Coach let's put this in another perspective. Your in practice explaining to a player how to read screens. He doesn't respond. So you say "Do you understand" are you now demeaning this player. What if he doesn't respond to you after that. What consequence will there be. Are the other players expecting something to happen? Is he questioning your authority as a coach? I think the "do you understand" was probably more of courtesy to make sure he understood, because if he didn't he's about to be T'd up for violating the plane again. He's being disrespectful in both instances. I've already stated that I would pass on a T in this circumstance, but I find it difficult for a coach to defend this behavior. Winning demands an attitude, not this type of attitude however.
