I'm sure it's a character flaw for a man who's otherwise an upstanding person. From a basketball perspective, though, I don't like to see that sort of court-side behavior rewarded with a win. It sends the wrong lesson to kids and coaches we deal with at the lower levels.
Very astute as well as being verbose, concise, succinct and...menopausal.

I was kinda running out of adjectives so I just stuck the last one in to see if anyone was paying attention.
