That would imply the University disagrees with him. That can't be true.

True....since Whit was yelling at the refs too.

On the field yelling at the refs by the head coach is nothing, even after games.

Going after refs while ignoring the opposing coach who just wanted to shake hands is pretty shameful IMO.

Whitt and Kalani hugged right before Whitt went off on the refs. They'd already

Ok. Mea Culpa. I must have missed that clip. I only saw the one where KS looked uncomfortable

He looked uncomfortable because Whit gave him a quick bro hug then attacked ref.
