That was a completely unprofessional way to lose his cool, and after such an innocuous question that it seems pretty clear he was either reacting to some other stress he brought with him into the press conference or just had a chip on his shoulder about whomever was asking. Either way, it bothers me. So stupid to throw language like that around needlessly and casually, and all from a "role model." The position of Head Coach of an NBA team comes with a visibility that extends beyond the basketball court, and I think the idea that we don't expect more from him speaks to where we are as a society.
Yeah, we're worried about the language of NBA coaches. We're offended. "Role model". Right. What do you think, Mr. President? He doesn't give an eff. Seriously, coaches get hot under the collar all the time. Lose their cool. It happens. Nothing to see here folks. Time to move on.
