Arizona HC Adia Barnes on profane post-game pep talk: 'I’m not apologizing for it'

[oldude]

My question: What happens if she loses to Stanford Sunday? What finger she will use?

Probably a combination of her middle finger and index finger while shouting, “WE’RE NUMBER TWO!”

 

[the Q]

Win with class

Lose with class

She already failed one.

 

[Vowelguy]

Most of Barnes' games have aired on the PAC network. You can understand why she would think no one would see her.

Question: do you think Geno has not cursed out his players from the bench during games?

Great one.

My parent always taught me, be honest, be humble and be respectful. I guess time has changed and I am old.

I may have to watch a few replays, but it appears to me that some of our players use proFanity when they have effedup. Liv immediately comes to mind. Just saying...

I think Adia Barnes has every right to use her middle finger since she wins the game she is the boss, and congrats to her.

What would John Wooden say. The times they are a changing.

 

[Ct Dog]

FWIW Sue Bird has chimed in with her support.

Is there anything she hasn’t chimed in on?

For John Wooden a comparable expletive would have been, “GOLLY SHUCKS”, after which he would have apologized for losing his temper.

Good for Barnes. She has every right to fire up her team after being disrespected by ESPN and having no one believe in her team. Coaches and players consistently drop f bombs and other swear words in much more negative ways yet they dont get criticized for it.

Hahahaha! 😂

Well given that he’s been dead for 11 years I think just the fact that he was speaking would be more notable than his comment on this particular issue.

Uhh yeah given that Wooden stopped coaching 45 years ago, I would agree that the times have probably changed a wee bit since then .

Let don't go there.

Everybody has different ways of celebrating, not a good look for a coach I would say but ya know what they won, and it wasnt directed at us. I would say act like you have been there before but they haven't.

 

[Childhood]

It is not a good look for her as being a coach, mother, or human being.

In nba she would have been fined for $15k for this action.

Surprised that most of the BYers think that it's ok.

 

[the Q]

It was aimed at eveyone, including us.

That’s something you do in the locker room with your team.

 

[Scud49]

I think if Geno had down that he'd be roasted by the media and basketball world.....

I agree we got no control over it, losing sucks thats why you gotta win so you dont see things like that and its why I have no sympathy for teams when we do win by a lot. Geno should show that video to the team and use it as motivation.

Yeah. That’s basically.

She wants to be classless.
Muffet and Tara wanna be misandrists....whoop all that ass whenever you get a chance

There are many many replies in this AOL news. The one I like the best:

If a coach has no self discipline their mouth then how to they expect their team to show discipline while playing the game. Everything a coach says should be teaching their players how to respond in a mature, sportsman-like response. They know when you're angry but to "lose it" by using physical gestures and unacceptable words "low-life anger" is a bad lesson to teach! At least have the decency to apologize. That's teaching!

You continue to make this point over and over but when it comes to Genos behavior you are strikingly silent.
is Geno a bad teacher as well?

What Geno has said? I don't see in this thread can you post?.

Why you continue to say Geno a bad teacher over and over? You really hate Geno?

Not much class or humility anywhere these days. Great role model.
