Beast, you are certainly right about coaches ways back in the day, and although not as commonplace, some of this stuff still goes on to a lesser degree. Matt was fiery for sure, but Boeheim, Huggins and Coach K sure look fiery when a kid messes up. Mark Few for that matter too. Even Dave L. just the other night in the DeP/SJU game did it. You are so right ! Speaking of Huggins , I recall a NCAA game some years ago with WVA where Kevin Jones , kid from Mt Vernon , had a terrible injury during the height of the game . Jones was playing in his last College Game and the injury was a severe one . He was prone on the Court . Huggins rushed to him immediately , got down on his hands and knees and cradled Jones in his arms and hugged him for several minutes . All the time , talking to Jones, telling him he was a great Player and Person , what he meant to the team , etc . It's something I never forgot . Of course , often times Huggy never even had to yell at a kid . He gave him a look that probably was more devastating than any words he could say .
