get up off your knees. The inmates are running the asylum in the NBA. Your use of the word was probably appropriate

Can you imagine if he had called them "nappy-headed hos"? (Don Imus reference, RIP, Don.)

After 243 years of thuggery, nobody white has the right to call people of other races thugs. But since that's not what he said he meant... Onward to more important things than name calling.

The Odd Couple on Fox Sports Radio said no harm, no foul. It’s unfortunate but move on.

1. I know nothing about sports, but as soon as I read the OP, I was reminded of a famous university basketball coach named John Wooden in the 1960s and mid-1970s.

2. Although the media never emphasized the following, it was reported in some circles that Coach Wooden decided to retire because, among other reasons, he found it difficult to accept the attitudes of some of the basketball players who were joining the team.

3. Perhaps Coach Beilein should consider retirement.

That means his attitude as a coach was bad. Beilein is working with grown men and the money they earn might be taking care of their entire families. So a coach should treat them like men. You never heard players talking like this about championship coaches.
