New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick took one tack after Donald Trump was elected president by professing not to be knihy o erotice"a political person" -- even after writing Trump a letter of support.
NBA coach Stan Van Gundy took another approach entirely Wednesday: Scorched Earth.

"We have just thrown a good part of our population under the bus, and I have problems with thinking this is where we are as a country," the Detroit Pistons headman and veteran NBA coach lamented.
Others in the NBA world quickly rejected the notion of a Trump presidency as well on Wednesday -- veteran NBA forward David West blasted the "fairytale" notion of a post-racial America defined by Barack Obama's back-to-back elections. But Van Gundy went several steps further in a lengthy monologue about the election and the future of America.
Here are several choice quotes -- for the full transcript, visit the Free Press.
On the difference between Trump and Bush:
"I didn’t vote for (George W.) Bush, but he was a good, honorable man with whom I had political differences, so I didn’t vote for him. But for our country to be where we are now, who took a guy who -- I don’t care what anyone says, I’m sure they have other reasons and maybe good reasons for voting for Donald Trump -- but I don’t think anybody can deny this guy is openly and brazenly racist and misogynistic and ethnic-centric, and say, ‘That’s OK with us, we’re going to vote for him anyway.'"
On what a Trump presidency likely means for many Americans:
“We have just thrown a good part of our population under the bus, and I have problems with thinking that this is where we are as a country."
On the message Trump's election sends Van Gundy's daughters and other women:
"It’s just, we have said -- and my daughters, the three of them -- our society has said, ‘No, we think you should be second-class citizens. We want you to be second-class citizens. And we embrace a guy who is openly misogynistic as our leader.' I don’t know how we get past that."
On what it tells the rest of the world:
"I understand problems with the economy. I understand all the problems with Hillary Clinton, I do. But certain things in our country should disqualify you. And the fact that millions and millions of Americans don’t think that racism and sexism disqualifies you to be our leader, in our country ... We presume to tell other countries about human-rights abuses and everything else. We better never do that again, when our leaders talk to China or anybody else about human-rights abuses."
"We just elected an openly, brazen misogynist leader and we should keep our mouths shut and realize that we need to be learning maybe from the rest of the world, because we don’t got anything to teach anybody."
And a final thought:
"It’s incredible. I don’t know how you go about it, if you’re a person of color today or a Latino. Because white society just said to you, again -- not like we haven’t forever -- but again, and emphatically, that I don’t think you deserve equality. We don’t think you deserve respect. And the same with women. That’s what we say today, as a country. We should be ashamed for what we stand for as the United States today."
