I can understand how some could see that I took this personal, but I was sure to take a few hours and get some rest before blogging.
This was more than just about me. It happened to three other media members, too. There was no story until he walked away and kicked a chair - not a normal thing at press conferences. The news outlets that were there reported on it and should have done so.
Some might not know that I have more freedom to interject opinion in my blog, but I do not believe I reacted in a personal manner. It was good to see some emotion, but there's no excuse for such action.

To me, it shows that he cares about how his team is performing and I really don't have a problem with it. Granted, I wasn't there so I have nothing to base my point on but simple reading observation but I also understand that it was likely you that asked the question and are a little TO'd that he showed you up also. I'd be more embarassed if he had done this on the court a la Bobby Knight. JMO
