We can read the coaches lips and they can read ours. Again, just more excuses to not deal with the issue. Much easier to ignore than to deal.

To each their own indeed. I'm not going to "teach" a coach that he can be a jackass when he is on the opposite end from me but he has to behave when I'm on his end of the floor. Ridiculous.

What isn't tame stuff? He just reamed the trail and then yelled, "that's awful" 4 times to the point that it even got the TV producer's attention enough for some tight shots. Would he have to say it 15 times? Would have have had to have thrown his jacket at the trail? At what point does it become "disrespectfully addressing an official."
