I agree that it is a good thing for a coach to stand up for a player; however, the article did not seem that inflammatory to me. Also, these are amateur athletes, but a full ride scholarship at a university ain't 'zactly chicken feed, and at a state funded school, the taxpayers are footing the bill for that scholarship. I agree that a nineteen year old shouldn't be held up to the scrutiny of a pro, but the article didn't seem that harsh.
