Miami (OH)'s Chuck Martin Should Be America's Favorite Coach After He Delivered A 7-Minute Rant About Distractions And His Scoreboard Operator Getting A Penalty This Week

Earlier this week we had something I don't ever remember seeing. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the scoreboard operator at Miami (OH). 

Pretty dumb for the ref to call that. I mean we see distractions all the time and if some kicker can't figure out what's real and what's not, that's on him. Not to mention this is a heated rivalry with the Battle of the Bricks. What I was curious about though is how does someone like Chuck Martin handle this? Chuck Martin is one of the funniest coaches in America. He's a guy who will talk about anything and is a pretty solid football guy.
Luckily we got to find out yesterday in this 7-minute rant 

Fuck yeah. This is the sort of dude I want talking to the press. He should be doing default press conferences for coaches across the country and maybe even golfers crying about things. Give me a guy who basically says who gives a shit? Make the play or don't. It's on you. He brings up the Miami (OH) student section during basketball games and how the swim team went viral last year for the speedo look. That's not a distraction apparently but some uprights on the big screen is. Think he handled it perfectly. Stayed calm, next play mentality but then also subtly said how soft you have to be to really be distracted by something like this in the moment. 

Give me more Chuck Martin's. Too often these days people just bitch to bitch. You make a decision, you deal with the consequences. You don't show up in the moment, you deal with the consequences. This isn't up there with some of the iconic rants, but it's one of my favorites. Seven minutes about distractions and how to get over it.
