2.) Jones, you are such a f#$@n idiot!
I'm going to go with #2 being much more likely to cause friction between a player and a coach.
And agree or disagree with the intent, anyone with an IQ north of 80 knows that a white man calling a black man "thug" in 2020 isn't going to be received well.
Since when is cultural competence related to IQ? Is that your way of saying if others disagree with you they are MR?
Zimmer would cuss up a storm at players. IT is not the "foul" language the players are likely upset, it is the lack of trusting the coaches getting them better as a team.
