(VIDEO)Coach Was Furious When His Players Disrespected National Anthem, So He Does THIS To Teach Them A Lesson!

This is how you coach basketball: it starts long before you ever touch the ball. It begins with instilling respect and gratitude—reminding players that their freedom to play is a privilege. A privilege secured by young men their age who paused their own lives, their education, to fight in wars for that freedom.

Today, the national anthem has become part of the spectacle of major sporting events. I’m not against Lady Gaga or any celebrity singing it, but these kids need to understand the deeper meaning behind it. They need to respect why it’s performed and what it stands for.

Virginia Tech basketball coach Buzz Williams took this lesson to heart, giving his players a powerful, emotional message about honoring the anthem. His approach will move you to tears.
