If it is Important, You Coach This, Too

   It isn't whether you win or lose, but how you react after you play the game.
   Perhaps a Memphis player threw the first punch, but it is disappointing if BYU fought back. Regardless who got a blackeye in the fight, both teams both got a blackeye from the fighting.
   What you coach is what you get, sometimes. Coach Bronco Mendenhall did a wonderful job of coaching the Cougars back after losing four in midseason. That they bounced back is a tribute to his coaching.
   But, the brawl after the game?
   Actually, I would not be surprised if Coach Mendenhall did coach his players not to react wrongly after games, for conduct is important to him. Sometimes, what you coach doesn't take with the players. But, often it does. If you don't want brawling and misconduct, you have to coach it, right along with all the football things.
