I wonder how we would feel if the coach were to ask us a question of a similar nature, eg. "will you make good calls throughout the game?" In a way, I think the coaches defensive response in this case was justified. The question is provocative.
The question "will you display good sportsmanship" seems to imply that we come from a position of mistrust. Should we not always assume the coach is good until he breaks that trust?
I know it's only MS, but I can see lots of coaches raising an eyebrow at the question - and in a way, I don't blame them.
Just my $0.02
