I dont think they are hate responses...well 90% of them are not at least. its just silly to take a coaches comment like this at face value. Coach speak is a real thing, and typically coaches hate talking with the media. These guys dont want drama, they dont want their quotes being posted in the opposing teams locker room before a game. These guys are supposed to be a leader for their locker rooms, and if they dont want their team talking trash in the media they will lead by example and not do it either.
Not saying there is any issue between Schotty and DQ, but it would be ridiculous to say anything other than exactly what DQ said here.
