<p>

Poor guy!!</p>

2

<p>I don’t see her yanking him but giving him a dirty look.</p>

3

<p>If she read the Chua book, he won’t have a bathroom break for a few days!</p>

4

<p>I am guessing the video didn’t catch her benching him. But the article goes on to say

</p>

5

<p>I wondered because he looks great in the clip.</p>

<p>I’m of two minds about this. Is it obnoxious? Yes. But dads have been obnoxious for a long time and it doesn’t seem to dissuade coaches (ex: Cam Newton).</p>

6

<p>Don’t think anyone implied it was obnoxious. Just… well… embarassing. But I guess it worked. And it made the front screen of the Yahoo sign on page!</p>

<p>Interesting tidbit about his mom-- noted later in the article

So she knows of what she speaks. Guess helicpoter parents come in all shapes and sizes!</p>

8

<p>^^</p>

<p>Impressive wingspan! But can she fly?</p>

9

<p>Not sure, but I’ll bet he does when she cranks up her rotors!</p>

10

<p>Well, I saw my favorite coach in the crowd, so I guess if we get him then I’ll look for her in the stands, uh, courtside. :D</p>

<p>I just rewatched it, and now that you mention it she looks like she could hold her own, standing next to those baseketball players.</p>

11

<p>Poor thing indeed. I wonder if he is still walking around the empty gym floor trying to find his balls. I don’t normally condone kids backtalking or being rude to their parents, but I might make an exception for this instance.</p>

12

<p>Which team are you wanting to get him , YDS? UT?</p>

13

<p>I would hope he would go to school far, far away so mommy can’t attend home games.</p>

14

<p>As xig pointed out, she can fly there with a few turns of her blades.</p>

<p>Yepper. Hook 'em!</p>
