I don't know the whole story, but I do think its wrong to bash someone because their mother was asked questions by a reporter and answered them. We all know how mothers can be people. A little too over protective?
I highly doubt he called his Mother and said "mom, call the press and defend me, my coach just wont do it well enough for me".
The guy is having some issues, obviously. We don't know what they are and until we do, I think its wrong to judge him.
edit, that was just my opinion, not like an order or anything ... just making that clear lol ... the guy is open for criticism just like the rest of us.
