I guess he is simply expressing his true opinion / feelings, but man if his team is having problems with confidence, or such, going puplic definately will put it on the front burner of the players minds. It is not how you build the team up confidence by going puplic."I'm stunned," Oliver told the Chronicle. "Bewildered. Embarrassed. "I'm concerned about the mental state of the team. How it dipped to this level in a 10-day period is a shocker."

Quote from ISU coach.
I saw this quote fron ISU coach Doug Oliver in a Big Sky wrap up column in the Missoulian. I guess I missed it in the Bozeman Chronical, but it is as follows.
You elected a ****** RAPIST to be our President

I am pretty sure that quote was from after their blowout loss to UM in which they put up their second straight game of record or near record lows in shooting % and points. I think that is the context of the quote as I am sure I read it in the preview article on the Cats/ISU game. While it doesn't make it much better to be saying to the press, putting it in that context at least makes it a bit more understandable. I would say they rebounded from that pretty well against the Cats.
