CRB Does not Swear

I like it, and hope the players do as well. Far too many instances in YouTube of coaches treating the players like they are worthless people.

I guess we'll have football players transferring to the basketball team

poty.

This roster might make him backslide.

 

[iKrager]

Change of pace.. Donnie was all about talking like a sailor..

 

[lonelawyer]

I remember how Coach Devoe used to talk to Kevin Nash. I remember sitting close enough in Stokely to hear every descriptive adjective.

You would think in the thick of things a cuss word would slip out from time to time. If not then, that's really impressive. I'm sure all of these soft kids of my generation will appreciate it.

Beat me to it. Solid.

I am embarrassed to say I laughed at this. Think we sell our guys a little short sometimes, though.

Did Nash body slam him?

And that's a problem

If I'm not mistaken he took a swing at him in the locker room.

The swearing thing is way overblown IMO. Treating players like they're worthless is a completely different issue. You can do that without uttering a single swear word.

Dean Smith never cussed either. I don't care what a coach says or does, as long as he wins.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Do not care one way or the other. He can yell fiddle sticks for all I care as long as he gets the job done.

 

[volakil]

That's good for him to make that change in his life. On the other hand I think this generation of athletes(and fans) are too sensitive and emotional.

 

[orangeluvr]

Aw shucks! Nothing like a good ole down-home rant cussing. :rtfm:

 

[allvol123]

It is like people that completely say no to drinking, people like that bother me.

 

[k-town_king]

But will he get techs to influence the ref is the question. :crazy:

A coach doesn't have to swear to treat his players like worthless people.

 

[YankeeVol]

What's the big deal about swearing? It's just a damn word

 

[SeniorDrill]

Should be perfect for the two Braxtons. That is important to their parents! Leg up on Blackwell. Question is will Barnes keep the former to secure the latter?

This. Everyone gets a trophy or no cuts everyone plays. Soon we will have 22 man batting lineups in high school baseball because of the no cuts everyone plays rule. Not to mention 17 on 13 basketball games imagine that crap.

Let the boys who get upset by curse words go to Liberty, there is a place to make everyone happy..I like the Patton approach....
