    Point taken.

    Maybe he should have asked Joakim Noah to come back and give a lesson on teamwork and dedication.

I expect his kids will get the message and perform at a high level from here on out.
    A small difference, I think, is that when Coach K took away the chairs in the locker rooms in 2004 (I think?), that was mid-season as a motivator (and got us to the Final Four, if it was 2004). Billy D is doing this at the end of a disappointing season. If you want to teach your dog a lesson about pooping on your couch, you can't hit him with a rolled up newspaper after the act, you gotta catch him in the act.
