FixedGirl, unfortunately we live in a society that lets NBA (and NFL) players attack coaches and photographers without legal punishment. Kids see this in the news regularly; their "heros" abuse others with impunity. (I use the term hero loosely because hero worship of pro athletes is a whole 'nother crazy topic.)

My father was so exhausted from being a parent to all his students who didn't get attention in their own homes that he wasn't a parent in his. As his daughter, I want to thank all those parents who let him do the parenting for them. It certainly helped me.
