JR, I had to read the original post again. This is my opinion on a situation like this. If we were in a game together and the coach made that comment to you while I'm on the other side of the court, then I would thank you for handling it. However, if I'm communicating with a coach and he looks to you, wherever you are, and makes that comment while basically talking right past me (I hope it is clear what I'm trying to describe) then it is up to me to have the intestinal fortitude to put my whistle in my mouth and handle business.
I'm not saying we shouldn't have each other's back; I'm saying we should have the courage to protect ourselves when attacked right in front of our faces.
