To no one's surprise everyone on kxno doesn't condemn her behavior, they celebrate it as competitive fire and of course turn it into a gender bias.
I don't care what your plumbing is there is no excuse for this crap.
You don't see Crooks doing this crap.

Attendance is a bad comparison. At ISU, students get in free to the women’s, at the men’s, they get turned away from some.Kcci had a article on tonight about the salary gap between men's and women's coaches. Citing this yrs Iowa’s wbb attendance as the reason they need to be closer.
1 yr doesn't even out decades of differences. They did not discuss what the top coaches make (I'm thinking geno and Mulkey) or how their attendance is typically good. It was a real stretch piece.

The cynic in me thinks that getting women’s basketball to take off is a low cost revenue stream for ESPN, and that’s why they’ve been pushing it. Not saying I’m right…but I’m wondering.Once you get a hype train up to speed you don't just throw on the brakes.
Could be, but ESPN probably knows that the surge might be temporary. Better get while the getting’s hot.The cynic in me thinks that getting women’s basketball to take off is a low cost revenue stream for ESPN, and that’s why they’ve been pushing it. Not saying I’m right…but I’m wondering.
Laetner was excoriated for being too cocky. Clark, Brink, Reese and the 'Cocks all demonstrate why - outside of Tennessee - so few women's teams find themselves worthy of including "Lady" in their monikers anymore.I haven’t seen Clark play, but this is exactly what I was thinking when I saw Brink the other night. I couldn’t believe her lack of character. And not just the foul mouth or whining, but the looks and actions on the bench. As Doug is saying, you just don’t see the guys acting like that.
So it's basically been most of her life then.Then she would turn to her dad and throw up her hands with a look of exasperation.
There will be no negotiated peaceWould you agree to a deal that put ISU men in final four combined with Iowa women winning championship?

I reject this excuse in this case and life in general. I've dealt with many "leaders" (managers) who are jerks to their people. Then I hear "Yeah but you gotta understand how much pressure he's under. We can't possibly grasp the stress level." Maybe I can't, but I get stressed in life too and I don't treat people poorly.CW on 2 Guys said she behaves like this because of all the hype and pressure.
Really? What explains her behavior in high school and her years at Iowa before this season then? She’s always behaved like this CW. C’mon…. you’re better than this. Call it out for what it is…. don’t excuse this s**t. You wouldn’t want your daughters acting like this.
Sometimes people will break and react poorly. Those moments tend to be anomalies. When you act poorly consistently, it is a character flaw.I reject this excuse in this case and life in general.

Same goes for athletes/celebrities. Yes, they have a ton of pressure and hype. She has an entire ecosystem around her working to make money off her fame. Pressure reveals character, it doesn't create it.
