When I saw it during the game I commented to my wife and since we record the games we rewound the DVR and watched it multiple times. JB was leering at Trevor as he approached and barked something to him and then pushed Trevor from behind immediately after Trevor had passed him on his way to the bench and the TO huddle.

This season or this particular group of players may be frustrating for JB but in my opinion it is NEVER OK for a coach to put a hand on a player out of frustration or any reason for that matter. Simply put, it was wrong. I think he is an amazing coach and has tremendous accomplishments but there are times when JB's actions, words and deeds are inappropriate. The personal nature of some of JB's comments about players seems out of place as well. Some can counter that it's a motivational technique but a team that apparently has several players who are struggling with confidence wouldn't seem to benefit from that type of "motivational" approach.

It seems that enough people here noticed the incident and seemed somewhat troubled by it. When a game is televised to countless numbers of viewers watching the game one can only guess how many people saw the incident and raised an eyebrow to it as well. I hope for JB's sake he can get his emotions in check and he won't repeat anything which can be construed as inappropriate and reflect negatively on himself and by association, the team.  I don't care how many games he has won or how long he's been here, that push of Trevor was not OK.
