Well, you know your head is in the wrong place when you are asking for autographs after your team just got trampled by 47 points.

So it shouldn't come as a huge surprise that the Tunisian national coach, Adel Tlatli, went off on a player.
Tlatli went all Rick James on one of his players with a serious slap in a huddle. Maybe the player asking permission to ask Kobe Bryant for an autograph.
Bryant made major headlines by saying his 2012 squad could beat the Michael Jordan-led Dream Team, before eventually backpedaling from his original statement.
In Tuesday night's 110-63 U.S. beatdown against Tunisia, though, Bryant fell victim to a Dream Team-like moment when a player pulled off his shoe and asked the five-time champion for an autograph. (Um, that awkward moment in the postgame handshake line).
On a positive note, the Tunisians did cover the 55-point spread that Las Vegas predicted the U.S. to punish them with.
Here's a new MasterCard commercial idea for Tunisia:
A Kobe Bryant autograph: $50,000.
A 47-point demolition against the U.S.: A couple thousand bucks for a ticket to watch Team USA had they not had the free view while playing.
A slap in the face by your coach: Priceless
