(VIDEO)Coach Was Furious When His Players Disrespected National Anthem, So He Does THIS To Teach Them A Lesson!
Coaching basketball isn’t just about teaching plays or improving skills — it’s about teaching respect, responsibility, and gratitude. Coach Buzz Williams of Virginia Tech knows this better than anyone.
When some of his players showed a lack of respect during the national anthem, Williams didn’t just let it slide.
He took the moment as a powerful teaching opportunity. “I don’t mind Lady Gaga singing it,” he said, “but these kids gotta learn why it’s being performed.”
Singing the national anthem before games has become routine, but it represents far more than a simple song.
It’s a tribute to the sacrifices made by those who fought to protect freedoms, to the families who endured hardship, and to the opportunity athletes have to compete at all.
Coach Williams’ lesson was emotional and unforgettable.
He reminded his players that respecting the anthem isn’t about politics — it’s about honoring history, teamwork, and the very principles that allow sports to exist.
His actions served as a powerful example of leadership, showing that great coaching extends beyond the court.
The reaction from the players and the crowd is unforgettable, and the message resonates far beyond basketball.
This is a reminder to all athletes, young and old, about the value of respect, humility, and gratitude.
