Agree with realtycheck. I like how we are playing. Eff the doubters! The dreaded February swoon belongs to the string of pre-Lewis losers that led this program. Go Cards!

Im pretty sure Lewis's approval rating is 99% My wife isn't very happy with him after he let the f-word fly shouting to the far end of the court on Saturday during a quiet moment and causing the whole arena to let out a gasp. I thought it was funny (especially the gasp) but she said she was going to write a strongly worded letter. The mother of young kids in front of us was pissed too. She wanted to leave but her husband stopped her. My guess is they won't be back. I know the people behind the bench hear that a bunch but we really can't hear it on the other side of the court usually |

I know the people behind the bench hear that a bunch but we really can't hear it on the other side of the court usually I think Lewis subscribes to the older guard of coaching. The more forceful, in-your-face type stuff. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but he should be careful of his volume and setting. In front of the team, okay, that's your opinion and he's obviously been right 95% of the time so far. In-game... better make sure it's loud in there. |

Hell, elementary school kids throw the f bomb around. There isn’t anything new under the sun anymore. Lewis speaks the way all the college kids speak to each other. He’s a college basketball coach not a kindergarten teacher. As long as he’s not abusing his players (he’s not) I think people need to get over it.

The timing was eery. |

she said she was going to write a strongly worded letter. Wouldn’t that be hypocritical? |

He needs to reign that stuff in a bit. You can be critical without being offensive.No need to be a total Bob Knight. He could get away with anything in Bloomington other than murder (up until the end with his press conferences).

I can go toe to toe with any sailor when it comes to cussing (although I think Burton once called me out on this claim). But even the biggest curser can put a filter on themselves when they make up their mind to. In my opinion, Lewis should do this in front of the women and children in the arena. It's the mature thing to do. |

The f word is now used in casual conversations with this generation. It is not an expression of anger for kids today. His players are probably more offended by his tone than his use of the word. I was reprimanded as a coach because my tone and volume was “intimidating”. Once hearing that, it was time for me to do something else. Point being, the word is used so often today I find it comical that people are still offended by it. I just hope that the complaints go on deaf ears with the administration as Lewis is not going to change. He should not have too.

I hope the sheltered children in front of you never have to ride a bus to school cause if they do they will likely develope ptsd from tge language of elementary age kids. Im not kidding Its bad and by middle school they will teach variations of cuss words you never knew existed. Its not right but its reality 12 year olds have the knowledge of things we did know existed until highschool or even college. You dont like ityou better home school.
Cussing and coaching sports kinda go hand hand my middle school football coach dropped F bombs regulary. My sons 7th grade coach last year the same
I coached metro football for years k-6 grade I put the filter on till 6th grade where I selectively started using damn and ass and became a much "meanor" coach because I knew what was coming for these kids the next year.
Wish it were not the case but it is.
Go on the sideline of A BSU football game and yours ear will melt. There you have 10 coaches screaming like drill sergants

My son will not say it front of us but it has slipped out a few times. We hear him and his peers talking though and they all use it in regular conversation with out a thought. Like reevo said you might hear them say You going to the fucking track meet tomorrow. These are what you would call the good kids as well its rampant |

Not stating a "complaint" as such, just an opinion that it would be considerate to apply a filter to oneself in front of young children. Not that it saves them from EVER hearing it, but rather that it helps show them that adults can exercise self control and do things in their appropriate place.
I guess if Lewis doesn't give a fuck about efforts some parents might be making with their kids, and has no consideration for that, then fuck it...let him yell whatever he wants.

Lighten up. This wasn't a grade school classroom, or scout troop meeting. He wasn't addressing the crowd. There was ONE time a kid might hear something. A time he would not reasonably think any number of people watching the the game would hear much of anything he said. Something dad or mom or old uncle Rob might have said watching a game on TV when the kids were supposed to be out of the room. Or likely their friend on the playground say. This says nothing about what Lewis thinks about raising kids. In this context it was mildly inappropriate at worst. |
