Coach Oats on saying "Glory!"

University of Alabama Men's Basketball coach Nate Oats (a Fundamentalist Baptist) has a Bible verse for helping him avoid technical fouls:

Tuscaloosa News

"he's seen the social media discourse surrounding his tendency for techs"

"The tech that Oats got with 11 minutes to go in the Crimson Tide's 100-97 win over Texas A&M was relatively calm compared to his more theatrical penalties, including the one he received in the loss at Vanderbilt last month."

"While calls made by referees overcome Oats from time to time, in others, he takes a moment to glance at his play card", "on which he has written the verse Proverbs 19:11. It says, 'The discretionable man defers his anger and says 'Glory' to pass over transgression'."

The verse in the KJV is a tad different in what is stated, but I understand the point of the coach in trying to correct his behavior.

Proverbs 19:11
The discretion of a man deferreth his anger;
And it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
