I watched a baseball coach tear into a reporter the other day, after he won.
No it wasn't me. Not yet, anyway.
Perhaps this reporter had it coming to him for a few remarks made in a story. Maybe this has been brewing for years.
But the way it was handled by this coach was unprofessional and quite frankly classless.
If you've got a beef, take it out to center field, away from the public and discus it as adults.
He may have felt good about himself afterwards, laughing with his coaches and players.
But what message did that send to your players?
The message I got from being an uncomfortable bystander was that --- well it's OK for an adult to act like a A-hole and get into another adults face in front of his players.
Hey, all this did was take away from the teams win. It put all the attention on one man.
Was it worth it?
Come on coach, you're better than that.
