Watch South Alabama's coach go nuts

[ULtimateCajun]

_ You may find a player who might, in a very subtle manner, insinuate that they are not always in agreement with a team coach, but no player with two brain cells to rub together would state that his coach is a “cry baby” or that “he gets frustrated listening to him constantly whine during games.”

A rule of sport is that you always take the company line – a player takes up for his coach, and the coach takes up for his players. Once a player leaves a team you may find a few disgruntled players who don’t keep in line with their team, but being part of the team means you have each other’s backs.

I’ll go back to my original statement, and turn it back on our own team. Tell me the name of a player who bad mouths Coach Lee or any other coach and I’ll be happy to discuss with Coach what his players are saying in public. If the player admits to making the statements and is not severely disciplined there is a problem. If the player denies his statements then he totally destroys his credibility. _

I played 4 years of varsity soccer and when you are with coaches/players as much as you are when you're on a team, you get a family mentality. Although you go to battle with that "family", you still can see when someone is acting like an @ss. If someone would ask me what I thought of a teammates antics, i wouldn't lie. I'd say he's a puss and he whines a lot, but he's on my team. It's a hard point to get across but just cause you're on a team, it doesn't mean you have to get along/love each other/ eat dinner together/ etc....

I could totally see an athlete telling someone what they think of a coach that acts the way Arrow did sat. night. He was acting like an @ss hole and one of his players called him on it. The coach should apologize to his team and the University for acting the way he did.

With a microphone in front of them and video being recorded, sure...most will say the right thing or "no comment" it...

Players do not think that far ahead, where they consider what they are saying will be posted on a blog somewhere. Also, if a player is frustrated, because a coach made bad decision, made the team look bad, jumped all over a player, benched a player, or any number of other things that coaches do that do not exactly indear themselves to a player during a game, you can bet that they will let the loose tongue roll...it's human nature.

To prove my point, prior to watching the video link, you probably would have argued that no coach from the Sunbelt with two brain cells to rub together would publicly trash another institution's staff while being filmed, right? :-)

  South Alabama basketball coach Ronnie Arrow is taking some heat for getting heated with referee's after a last second loss to Louisiana-Lafayette.

Who would you rather as your coach?

[CajunZ1]

This is easy.

Rogers has obviously failed already. So anybody else is a good alternative.

_____ing and moaning is embarrassing, but it isn't that terrible IMO.

My rationale is this: Will Arrow be fired for his rant? No. Was his initial anger understandable? Yes

So, like I said: I'd take Arrow.

[Just1More]

Neither.

[CajunZ1]

_ Neither. _

... and boom goes the dynamite

Neither works for me.

[CajunCanaille]

I just want someone who wins games!

Come on guys. My comment wasn't that bad was it?

At least I didn't call him Error instead of Errol like in the title.

I heard the story about the South Alabama/UL-Lafayette incident on 1420 earlier this week, and was wondering about the outcome. Someone on the radio stated that there is typically a courtside monitor available for the use by officials. If this is true, where was this monitor on Saturday. Regardless if the shot was released in time or not (which I think it was), it seems their should be one available for plays similar to this one. In fact, I've seen three point shots reviewed during the middle of the first half on several ocassions this season.

Monitors are used when the game is being televised. there is no NCAA regulation that says there must be a monitor. in fact, most games not televised in the SBC do not use the aid of a monitor. this game was not televised so there was no monitor. simple as that
