I pointed out my credentials and experience because while you're free to express your opinion, I'm free to say that I don't need or want you job advice. And I say that knowing that's not going to stop anything. I've dealt with much more serious and complicated situations as a reporter.
As for the history, Lee and I had no issues this year prior to this incident. He had always answered my questions. So after that and five minutes of questions, everyone in that room was surprised that he randomly lost it. Why now and not the loss to NAIA University of Mobile?
My response is a grown man saying, "Thanks for sharing, but I'm fine without your advice." If you have a problem with my response, perhaps someone else is being defensive in this case.
On a brighter note, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and everyone else.

My comments have nothing to do about your credentials or any awards you have won in your capacity as a sports journalist. I’m simply astounded that you are surprised by Lee’s actions to your line of questioning considering the history.
Given the history between you two over the past two seasons and his obvious frustrations with the way this team has played, I’m not surprised the guy lost control. Considering the toxic ingredients of emotions with the way they lost that night and being questioned by a member of the media that he dislikes, its clear he vented on you. Coaches are people too and sometimes react to situations in an unprofessional manner. I’m not in the media and I’ve seen a many of interviews that turned out worst then what happened the other night.
If you are going to post links to your site and comment on your story,then be prepared to receive comments on your story, you invited it. Don’t get so defensive when others give you a different opinion, it’s not all about you or your credentials. Others can have different points of view that are valid. In this case, my point of view is not any different then yours, Lee’s actions were clearly wrong and unprofessional. I’m simply confused as to why you are surprised.
