First of all, how old is your son? Is he a teenager or an adult?

Secondly, I'm sure Saban tries to tone it down, but I'm sure stress gets to us all.

3rd, he is a brave man for even asking a question. I have a bunch of friends who wen to the one in huntsville and all of them were afraid to ask their question. at least your son has guts. I would imagine Saban gets asked the same questions at every stop so he feels like he is being bombarded. Hope this doesn't scar your son. ;)
He's adult and recent graduate. I think he just got caught up in the moment and wanted to have that 1:1 experience. He didn't take it as a personal affront, he just realized very quickly that this was a question that Saban had had enough of. But I have to give Coach credit for realizing where he was and spending the next 3-4 minutes answering the question very thoughtfully. It was definitely an experience we will talk about for a long time. Robert Lester was there and I had a very nice conversation -- and couple of photos with him.

I wouldn't take a dressing down from any coach or any person for that matter. I think it's pitiful how CNS cuts down a person for a question he's on the podium to answer. So what if the question is ignorant to the subject matter. All CNS would have to say is "next question". For CNS to say he doesn't read the articles in question is completely false. I love what he's done for UA athletically and scholastically but the way he conducts press conferences is rude and uncalled for. I refuse to listen to them anymore. They're all the same anyway. Btw - I took my daughter to see him in Jackson, TN last year and it was boring as hell! I just wanted her to have the experience.
Then you probably wouldn't last very long beyond organized Pee Wee football.

I don't think he's talking about being a kid but rather an adult in a social situation. If I'm understanding him right I agree with him. I tend not to take a dressing down very well unless I'm at fault for something or did something that deserved it. And even then I expect to be talked to with respect. I don't care who it's from.
