Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4187643, member: 1414"] It's part of the job to more or less take it. Yelling back is about the most you can do, or an obscene gesture and even that looks bad. Spitting is worse. Going in to the stands is worse still. That's the deal. You take on a role where you become a public persona and that's the reality. It's a critical life lesson many of these young men need to learn. You can't behave like you might on the streets (and that might get you arrested, or shot). However much the words hurt, they only hurt if you let them. Mental toughness. And yes, Hurley himself fell down on that account this week. He should know better. And no, I don't condone whoever is yelling at college kids playing a basketball game. They are in the wrong as well. We all take this stuff too seriously. [/QUOTE]
