I had the opposite reaction, in fact immediately texting a couple of friends, saying that I'd just gained a lot of respect for Willie when I saw his reaction.  You say, "yes, TBJ was wrong........." Good, you're right about that.  What did you want him to do?  Pat him on the back?  That wouldn't be a very lasting impression, which is exactly what was needed, and delivered.  Coach made an impression on everyone on the team that saw it.  Well done, Willie!
