I've been hard on Neal like many of you but two things come to mind right now. First of all, I'm really happy for him to get this win and the start that his team has had. But more than anything I really feel for him watching two of his players go down like that. Both appeared (at least at first) to be very serious. That's a lot to deal with in a short amount of time. I've always been hard on coaches, on a personal level, but for the most part they love those kids. I'm sure Neal is trying to enjoy the win but struggling after what happened to his players.
Let's enjoy the win but not forget about the fact that these coaches and players are people first.
