As many have said on here. Cry me a river....they are essentially professional athletes in training, they are going to get yelled at and swore at. Hell I was in middle school and my soccer coach yelled. A lot is expected of a Division I athlete. I have seen enough bone headed shots taken by players and O'le defense that a good verbal shake down was deserved. No coach is going to yell and scream when a player takes a good shot or plays 40 seconds a of strong defense and gets beat on an honest effort. And heck, everyone called BW - Bobby Sunshine - becasue it was thought he was too positive, and didn't yell enough at his players.

This is clueless. Shooting is ALL about confidence. If you feel like you are going to get yelled at for shooting... Well, you end up shooting like JJ's teams have been shooting for 25-30 years.
