You can personally be fine with it all you want, but LeBron would still be skewered by the media and looked at as a gutless puke for scapegoating a coach publicly after a bad loss in such a scenario. He'd know never to do such a thing. Although the optics wouldn't even look as bad as they do with Mickelson/Watson because Spoelstra doesn't hold Watson's hallowed place in his respective sport.
There are times where you have to hold your tongue publicly if you give a shit about how you're perceived. Sunday was clearly one of those times. Apparently Phil is old enough now, though, that he just doesn't give a ****.
