However, I'm suggesting that 30 seconds of video doesn't always tell the story. There is a ton of reading between the lines here. My sole point is: Don't think there are no positive outcomes to his actions, and that you understand the entire context from 30 seconds of video. But, yes, if you feel he is an idiot, an idiot he will be to you.

Honestly I do not know what you are, I did not ask. But based on what you are saying and want us to buy, is that this guy is a good guy but loses control when things do not go his way. If this was not a sporting event would his behavior ever be seen as acceptable? Of course not. If he did this in the classroom he would probably have been fired and the school would have been sued. But for some reason we excuse any behavior during a sporting event even if that sporting event is an extension of the educational process. And I do not care what kind of person he is off the court. All I know is what he saw. I think if he had murdered someone in a 30 second video we would not be talking about what a good person he was now. So why do we act like what he showed us was acceptable in this case? He is supposed to be the leader of young men, not acting like a child that lost his toy.
