his quoting scripture. That was their perception. He had to be acting in a "holier than thou" mode if he quoted scripture. I thought huh?

I heard him say what he did and I didn't take it that way. It was different only in that rarely had a BYU coach done that, but I didn't get any "holier than thou" from him in that regard. My key word was "that was their perception" and they did it because it served the stereotype they had already formed in their minds.
