I've given up on cable news. Entertainment over news and the more loonier you are the more air time
Thank you PBS and World Focus.
I'm out. 2010!

If you are undecided about whether it was a wiseass comment, consider if the shoe were on the other foot. Would you consider it out of line if I said to the head coach, "You don't need to ask your assistant's advice, call your own plays."

Add one more vote to the Atta Boy! column.

The principle that "a coach who makes a true statement never deserves a T" is incorrect. In addition to being a wisecrack, which seems to be the case here, the true statement could also be:
a. overly demonstrative, showing up the official,
b. include profane gestures,
c. personal ("you suck" gets a T even if true!),
d. prolonged, and occur after the coach was warned to keep his comments to himself.

The truth is no defense.
