So at the West-City High game last night, Margaret McCaffery went and got in Bergman’s face yelling something and being demonstrative. He wasn’t fazed and chirped at her and kept walking. She then appeared to be getting into it with her own family. Extremely bizarre.

Sorry for the stupid question.....Who is Bergman? Coach?

I don’t know what happened. Nothing jumped out as like Jack getting ripped or anything. Maybe Bergy cussed at him or something. But, it was nuts.

Yeah, longtime, legendary IC West coach.
 
Guilt by association.

Family should "reel him in".

They're not immune from criticism.
I sense that reeling in might lead to physical domestic abuse so that intimidation is something to consider.
I've felt bad for his family when he has meltdowns at his restaurant. It's apparent they feel bad and just put their heads down in shame/disgust.

he couldn't win a physical confrontation even against them. more than likely he would press charges. He is a POS and a clown. Worse than you could ever imagine.
 
No way something can be blown out of proportion here. Someone chirped at someone… okay? Are we suppose to draw some conclusion from this?

Is this normal behavior for Mrs. McCaffrey?
 
Dude, Joens is a nut ball. His kids aren’t to blame at all and the only thing that can change him is prison or an institution
exactly. And that's why it's a hopeless situation. there are no laws against verbal abuse. and that's all he will ever do. He's not man enough to fight anybody. and anybody that fights him or trys to fight him he will prosecute or sue.

He is the biggest pussy I have ever dealt with.
 
Which Francon level?

Everyone else has already shot this down but I can’t help but chime in and say this is one of the worst takes I’ve seen on this board. Anyone that believes this has obviously never dealt with someone that truly has a problem before. If only it were that easy to just tell the person that their behavior is a problem and then they will surely change!

Perhaps not normal but certainly not shocking. Supposedly she's been kicked out of many gyms over the years.

I witnessed her chasing after and cussing at a fan that got kicked out of the E. Illinois game last season after yelling at the bench during a time out.

At this point her behavior falls on Fran. Making sure your family members have good PR with the community is part of the job. I highly doubt Margaret has a chemical imbalance like Brian. She can do better; but it must just not be that important to Fran.

Even more than the defensive deficiencies of his teams, I think my least favorite characteristic of Fran's teams is their lack of mental toughness. He has openly called refs cheaters. He's allowed his sons to say essentially the same thing on their podcast. It's just a weak mindset that Fran has allowed to exist in his program, and as the leader, has set the example of it being ok.

Quite unfortunate all the way around
 
Yes. And we've all seen Fran over the years struggle with his temper. But what's incredible is the kids are all so mild mannered and I don't ever recall seeing any of them lose their cool. You'd think they'd all be little Grayson Allen Brad Davison types.
Wasn’t Steve Alford’s wife also obnoxious?

Yeah, I had no idea Fran’s wife was a hot head like he is. Maybe a change of scenery would be good for them.

Alford's wife was nothing like Margaret.

 
It's inexcusable, if she can't control herself she needs to stay home. I would have absolutely shit if my parents acted that way back when I played hs bb. It would have been embarrassing as heck.

I wouldn't be sad if they decided to move on.
I used to tell my parents never to show up to my tennis meets or debate tournaments. They mostly complied.
