Not JB, but a similar story.

During the 2012 season -- when we went 30-1 in the regular season and were a #1 seed -- I went to Boston for the sweet 16 game against Wisconsin / elite 8 game against the suckeyes.  My father and I were on the first level at the end of the row on an aisle, and Derrick Coleman was sitting across the aisle one row down.

Before and during the game at every stoppage in play, an endless stream of people came up to DC, asking him for autographs, to take pictures, shaking his head, or just stopping by to talk / tell some story.  We're talking an endless flood of fans, from pre-game on. DC was very accommodating, and made time for everybody who came by...

...until down the stretch in the game against OSU, where we were down by a couple of points.  With something like three minutes left to go in a close game, some guy came up the stairs and stopped to ask DC to take a picture.  An agitated DC shook the guy off, telling him "Not now!"   The guy walked away dejectedly.

Was DC a bad guy for doing that, or was it justified given what was happening on the court and his level of engagement with the ongoing game?  Seems to me like it was just bad timing.

Ditto this story with IS.
