    If I were Tom Izzo and saw video of my game one behavior I would seriously consider retiring. I would be beyond humiliated.

    This has been a reminder of how much people love to see abuse of college athletes, though.

    Maybe next time Izzo should ask him, "Pretty please, with sugar on top, do you think you could find the time to guard your man when we're on defense?"

    No. Physically they are comparable in size. Zion is listed at 6'7" and LeBron at 6' 8".

    But LeBron, even at 18, had the physical agility and ball handling skills to play point guard. Williamson and other great players close to James in size such as Karl Malone, could not.

    Point guards on bad teams tend to disappear.

    Auburn UNC has all sorts of potential.

    Do you think Bobby Knight was a beloved figure by so many in spite of his treatment of athletes? I do not.

    As much as John McEnroe was WRT his treatment of chair umpires.

    People (generally) like to see passionate pricks flip their lids, damn the consequences.

    Wait... with the thousands of hostile fans they face in the road, who are shouting all sorts of shit at them, we are getting worked up over a coach bitching them out?

    A kid plays one season in college and goes to the NBA, where they are under a media microscope and fans are shouting “you suck” at them every minute of the game, we are worried about the coach bitching him out?

    If you can’t take a tongue lashing about your play, what the hell are you going to do when you go to Duke for their chants?

    Everyone is focused on Izzo, but, Jesus, look at the big picture. You want Izzo to stop then implement high school rules to fans at the games in college sports.
