My take is that Shafer believed Dabo should kick and whether he felt it was rubbing it in or running it up who knows.  If the score was 14-10 Shafer would’ve had a similar jacked up reaction except for maybe the “ you” part of it.  And if it were 14-10 at the time I think 99% of the board would’ve echoed the same reaction as Shafer (and even Bromley).

It’s easy to coach and play from your living room.  I think a lot of people forget or don’t realize how much emotion and adrenaline these guys have in the moment.  They’re amped up and emotion sometimes gets the best of them.  I’d prefer a calm, cool and collected leader but I have to give Shaf the benefit of the doubt here, he’s a first time head coach in his 5th game, he’s a run through the wall intense defensive coach who can wear his emotions on his sleeve.  I think he’ll grow into the job and will tone it down as he does.  I can certainly understand why he was pissed off at the time and I’m glad he was fiery about it.
