WKU coach Rick Stansbury calls reporter Laura Britt 'honey'

Rick Stansbury is a jerk no matter what day it is.

After Western Kentucky defeated UAB 98-70 in Conference USA Tournament Thursday, Stansbury was disrespectful to Stadium sideline reporter Laura Britt.

Britt asked the coach about Western Kentucky's upcoming game against Old Dominion, a team they've beaten twice this year. The reporter wanted to know if they game would be more difficult knowing Old Dominion would be seeking revenge for a 22-point loss on Feb. 24.

Stansbury rolled his eyes at the question and addressed Britt as "honey," while answering the question in a condescending way.

"Honey, you understand those other two games have nothing to do with this game no matter how much we beat them by, has absolutely nothing to do with it," Stansbury said. "Old Dominion is one of the better teams in this league, they've been good right from the jump and we know we have to play exceptionally well to win tomorrow night. Those other two games will have nothing to do with our preparation for us being ready."

Britt was able to keep calm and professional on the air, continuing to ask questions.

She later tweeted about the incident when a Twitter user said Stansbury owes her an apology. Britt pointed out that Thursday was International Women's Day.
Stansbury has been the head coach at Western Kentucky since March 2016. He was previously the head coach at Mississippi State from 1998-2012 before he chose to retire.
