He and his team were perfect gentlemen and so respectful. He is young and I'm sure he didn't do anything out of disrespect. I feel that wholeheartedly. |
It's my choice to play (the national anthem) before each game, but it's his choice to coach his team. He didn't walk out during the national anthem. |
The vice presidents (of each school) have talked and it's done as far as we're concerned. |
There is nothing in the rules saying you have to be present for the national anthem. However a coach wants to get a team ready, it's up to him. If Patrick felt he needed a few more minutes with the team, that's his prerogative. |
