There is no doubt that Tennessee absolutely dominated Louisville last night at the Food City Center. Given how they have played over the last few weeks, nobody could have expected this. The win was defined by the depth of Tennessee and the physicality they possessed. I'm sure this led to a lot of frustrations in the Louisville huddles and caused turmoil amongst the coaches.
It seemed like Pat Kelsey had to take out that anger on someone. It just so happens that it was a Tennessee player, Bishop Boswell. An ESPN camera caught Kelsey shouting "shut the F*** up" to Bishop Boswell at the beginning of the second half right before an inbounds pass. Take a look at it for yourself.

Pat Kelsey cusses at Bishop Boswell
Uhhhh, not a great look, Pat. You're supposed to be the adult in the room; act like it. Boswell may have started it, but a coach shouldn't talk to an opposing player like that, ever. I couldn't imagine Rick Barnes ever doing that to another team's player. It's just not in his blood.
As a coach, you have to have a certain level of respect for the student-athletes, and Kelsey completely crossed this boundary. An apology should definitely be in the imminent future for Kelsey to Bishop Boshwell.
At the end of the day if that's how Kelsey wants to act then that's on him. Tennessee has now dominated his program two years in a row. Must be why he was so pissed, right? At the end of the day, Boswell got the last laugh. 83-62 speaks much louder than a few F-bombs on the sideline.
