Never quite understood what the issue was the first time.
Was it:
Merely fraternizing with the enemy.
Fraternizing when underage drinking was involved
Triggering a reaction to his alcoholism.
This made me laugh. BUT: Larry was notorious for his brutal practices, and Wayne was the opposite. I heard Jake Sullivan describe playing for Morgan as a "vacation" by comparison.
Whether or not your dogs were right to perk up, I think the contrast between the two coaches is a fair one.
