"Unforgiveable"? Come on. It was poor sportsmanship, but he didn't tell his kids to go and kill somebody. It showed little class, or perhaps just showed that the coach got caught up in the action. I've witnessed situations like this, where the losing coach made a comment to the winning coach and a light sort of went on over the winning coach's head. And then he pulled the press off.

Admittedly, that didn't happen here. But I don't think we should blow it out of proportion and say it's unforgiveable. It's poor judgment.
OK, Chuck, I can forgive him. (Does that make you happy?) But it is unsportsmanlike, classless and a tournament doesn't have to tolerate it. Perhaps I am sensitive to the issue having coached so much AAU ball and having been on both the winning and losing side. Coaches that do what he did do not last very long any way.
