This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I kind of agree with Scott Frost on this.. by TWO
Not just the crap Kelly pulls, but I see it all over college sports, coaches yelling and screaming at players for their mistakes, like it really helps..it's letting out their frustration with the player, how that helps I've never understood.
It's worse when I see it in Youth Leagues, I've seen it many times. Coaches losing their shit on some poor kid who made a mistake..maybe even a big mistake that cost the team.
No doubt some respond to that, and I guess in the culture of athletics maybe even expect that.
I never saw Anson Dorrance coach, I just remember reading an SI article on his remarkable run at UNC womens soccer and it was clear he understood the dynamics of coaching women. I'd be surprised if he used yelling and screaming and cussing, etc as one of his motivational tools.
