It doesn't bother me that you hold it against him all these years, that says something about your character to me.

It can be as simple as say finding 1000 dollars laying in the street and thinking "****, I hit the lottery today, going to get that big screen tv I always wanted" to "man, whoever lost that 1000 dollars might have lost everything they have and I should at least try to find out who it is and return it"
Lifes lessons change character. You develop sympathy and empathy through lifes experiences. Bopping someone in the nose with a basketball because your coach told you too might not seem that terrible and you have a 'who cares" attitude about it. Then someone takes a cheapshot of equal consequence at you and you realize that yes it is a big deal and you shouldn't have done it in the first place.

Sorry for the mistake,
How do you not understand that not thinking he should be our coach is not the same thing as holding it against him for all these years. I don't think Chris Mack is a horrible human being, but he did something bad on a basketball court, something that I am guessing a lot of people nineteen or not, would have said "no I'm not gonna do that" and he did it to Dayton and Wes Coffee. I just don't think it is crazy to believe that is something the University should and would consider if he were a candidate, among many I assume, for the UD coaching job.
We'll have to agree to disagree on whether character is built or revealed. As I said I can only base what I perceive on my life experiences, which I am sure are different than yours and neither better or worse than the other.
