Coach Bickerstaff's situation is concerning, but the problem with gambling threats in sports isn't new. We've seen before how gambling can try to change game results. We really need strong rules against this to keep sports honest and people safe. Educating people on responsible betting is also key. They should understand that threats or violence, coming from betting losses, just make things worse. Sports leagues and betting companies must work together on early campaigns against this and punish anyone who breaks the rules. This will help stop such things in the future.
