Oh man I remember this. Props for Boat for hanging in there.
This is just fun now
Boat is one of the most underrated UConn players. Love that kid. Tough as nails.Advice for the MSU player:
Calhoun criticized for sideline behavior
We ran a photo on Tuesday of a fire-breathing coach Jim Calhoun screaming at Ryan Boatright during UConn's game against West Virginia on Monday.
Heading into a timeout early in the second half, Calhoun stomped toward Boatright and then blasted the freshman guard while standing face-to-face.
Boatright took the heat without saying a word.
It was an uncomfortable, cringe-worthy moment.
Here's what Boatright said about the situation:
"You've got two options: You can either suck it up like a man and play through it and be coachable. Or you can let it get to you and you get down on yourself and get mad and let it take you all the way out of our game.
"He's going to be coaching, no matter what. He's not going to change. It's the way you respond to it, and I responded well.
"I just knew I had to make some plays happen and play smart and he'll be happy."
I remember at the XL he took off up the court after Craig Austrie.I remember when Jimmy went off on Charlie V for not trying to block a dunk

No old people are soft who then in turn make soft kids. This thread wasn’t started by a kid.They are. Kids don't have as thick of skin as in the past. They don't take criticism well.
never saw Calhoun go after a player.
