Did I bait the coach...?

Thank-you for that, and thank-you for your insight...have a great game tonight and good luck in the postseason.

ROFLMAO!

Welcome to the club, Dan...

And in response to the statement about the officials in Alaska - they actually were taped by an Assisstant Coach who illegally recorded their conversation in the locker room, so they were not really "overheard"... Things they said were entirely unprofessional and quite frankly offensive...

But none of that has anything to do with Big T's original post and question, so I will stop digressing now.

Yep, thanks Rocky,

I do remember "us", here on this forum, discussing this years ago.

(I just didn't feel like getting into a long, drawn out, flame war...at least not this time)

All this doesn't change my sentiment that coaches don't get to loudly say whatever they want just because they were "talking to their team/bench/player/coach".

And that is the point.

A poster named shades most definitely doesn't agree with it.

And I think it would apply to these parts of the conversation:

So if I say something I am overheard, then I should expect someone to simply ignore their comments? There is a reason even in a locker room you are careful to what you say. If someone hears you say something, they will respond or take action. We really need to get rid of that way of thinking that anything can be said and it should be ignored if not said so everyone can hear it.

I know a coach would write us up if we were in the middle of the court and we were talking in a derogatory matter about a player or coach and then used the "rabbit" ears excuse as our defense for being unprofessional.

Peace
