You had a coach of your choosing that didn't discipline this way and now through no fault of your own, you have a new coach that does and you resent it. Probably, knowing he was only PG on team, flexed his muscles and got shown that they don't consider him irreplaceable. Once he got called out on it, he felt he had to follow through on his threat of "not going to take it" or whatever it was. Not an uncommon occurrence in other similar situations like a new boss at work. Now, if Anthony Grant had not made his discipline techniques such as this known upfront, he's partially at fault. If he hadn't, I think the proper thing to do would have been to call a team meeting and explain that after this, all will be punished for the sins of a few. Obviously I don't know all of the circumstances, just saying that if it was anything like the scenario I layed out above, what Crosby did might be a little more understandable. He is still just a 20 year old young man and we all had less patience and probably more ego back at that age.

This is exactly what education has become today. If you don't like something just quit. And then hope that they beg you back. And if they don't beg them back but spin it that they really wanted me back.
