I always when I hear someone suggest or ask for something witty. We are not there to be comeback artists.

I would suggest what BNR said and talk to coaches like they are...wait for it...wait for it...another adult. Would you want another adult yelling at you? I wouldn't so I ask coaches to refrain from yelling at us (communicated in pregame). I also tell coaches that we will try to answer questions, but we cannot answer comments (communicated in pregame).

I understand and love the emotion that happens as a result of a basketball game. However, unsporting behavior is where I get rubbed the wrong way. I have zero tolerance for unsporting behavior from players and a little more than that for coaches.
