Players want to know that coach has their back. KU players know their coach is there to get them every advantage. TF and LE did this very well. JO was one of the best. GMac somehow figured out how to get officials to call things against us. Self is just doing his job. He is a jerk, but he is just doing his job.
No, you should not support your players when they taunt. You just don't. A lot of stuff that goes on is gray area, but you cannot taunt other players, especially in the college game.
