Also, let us not overact about Lambieer or any coach. The coach is miked up. It is not like every comment is heard by the officials or directed at the officials. And these are professionals. If you ever worked a college game, there are many college coaches that are tougher on their players than Lambieer ever will be. I have an officiating friend whose daughter plays at a Big Ten school. One of her best friends is Candice Parker (they played together in AAU and their families know each other really well). Some of the Pat Summit comments I have heard about are a lot worse than anything I have heard Lambieer say when I was watching SportsCenter.

I have a feeling if we miked up every D-1 and NBA coach during the upcomimg season we might be able to use about 25% of what they say on SportsCenter and the other 75% would have to be aired on HBO! Let's mike up Don Nelson for the season and I am willing to bet he is 10 times worst than Bill Lambieer!
