[Husker] Player respect

[David Elfering]

All this talk of yelling made me think of basic training. Being yelled at
was a way of life and I think some of this is over blown. The really
important thing is that the flare ups we see in the heat of the game isn't
what goes on routinely behind the scenes.

Very few DI's really did that to belittle people and there were boundaries
we all understood.

Until we know that reasonable boundaries are being crossed we're all just
tilting at windmills.
