But anybody that has ever.....

coached and was worth a damn is generally measured in their criticism because they realize they (1) may not have a complete understanding of all the factors going in to a decision and (2) have a decent understanding that the dynamics of decision making are different in the arena than sitting in the cheap seats or behind a computer keyboard. Note, I am not saying that is you and I agree that coaches are not above criticism, part of the job is being under the microscope. However, like everything there is a proper time, place and manner to deliver the critique and how it is said can undoubtedly weaken, if not totally obscure a valid point.

VRJNYTK • 05/22/22 08:08 PM ET
I didn't call out any names. Are you feeling guilty?**
HokieJack • 05/22/22 07:52 PM ET
Nope, not at all. Just didn't think a snide call out of critics was needed
VAHokie89 • 05/22/22 10:31 PM ET
Pete needs to control it, especially in an elimination game. **
rjh4vt • 05/22/22 07:47 PM ET
He was walking away when that chicken 💩 b-word threw him out

RJHokie • 05/22/22 08:38 PM ET
Why? It wouldn’t be acceptable to you, would it?**
PhotoHokieNC • 05/22/22 08:18 PM ET
Pete was upset because the wrong umpire was calling the illegal pitches.
Raleigh Hokie • 05/22/22 08:14 PM ET
In my opinion, he went out there fully intending to get thrown out.
nvpbrown • 05/22/22 08:17 PM ET
I was waiting for her and the Kentucky coach to embrace
RJHokie • 05/22/22 08:36 PM ET
It was so blatantly obvious that she wanted the female coach to win
hokiepro • 05/22/22 09:20 PM ET
Good points.
