Yeah I get your point with the
"personal insult". I know what he was
trying to get at it. Was not agreeing with him and didn't mention a
"personal insult". I don't think that any official should ever put up with a
"personal insult". I was trying to share a "similar" philosophy that I've encountered...if you screw up then you let the coach have a moment at your expense. And like I said before I think that philosophy, in addition to
"personal insults" of course, is totally wrong. IMO if you kick a call and then let a coach walk all over you, you've lost more face than if you kick a call, pick yourself back-up and go on with the game. And if that means addressing a coaches behavior then do it. The rules do not differentiate between poor behavior after a kicked/bad call or poor behavior after a good call.
