I think criticism of coaches is fair. To some extent student athlete criticism (part of the territory of big time college sports) is fair as well, to a point. Although, putting down a kid (Ponds specifically) while viewing what, one St. John's game possibly two doesn't put the writer in position to assess how the kid performs. The larger point is the writer is in a better position to assess Butler's performance as I assume, he is in Indy he is much closer to the situation then he is to what is happening in Queen's New York. In other words, the writer should have stayed in his lane and now he looks the fool apology not withstanding.
