Phoenix Suns coach Earl Watson wants his players to take a pretty firm approach to fraternizing with the opposition.

Watson said Sunday that he doesn’t want his players admiring their opponents – which means, apparently, they should not be following them on Twitter.

Earl Watson said the Suns should respect opponents but not admire them. He doesn't like Suns to follow opponents on Twitter. #SunsVsWarriors

Watson surely knows that there is nothing he can really do about his players who may have friends on opposing teams. It doesn’t make much sense that following opponents on Twitter would have any impact on his own players.

Of course, Watson has some rather unique values that he wants to instill in his team. This is just another example. It’s his show, after all.
