However, DeLaSalle basketball and sports is a HUGE deal to DeLaSalle students, and the surrounding community. It's proven when 1,000 people pile into to a see basketball game for a school that only has 500 students. This is one example of a coach going too far, but its an underlying expression of passion that everyone generally buys into.
Like I said, the Bobby Knight of MN hs basketball. And apparently, the school is willing to bend over for him by scheduling a meaningless post season game to help him serve his suspension in a manner that suits him.

That sort of outburst was completely unprofessional. He may be good at coaching, but I'd no sooner want him coaching my son than Bobby Knight.
