Second would be to my program. Third would be to the administration and school (my boss). Fourth would be to me and my career (this sometimes can be my first loyalty and priority). And maybe fifth would be to the fans. I don't see it as disrespectful but just practical. Fans are important, but I believe fans are fans of something other than their entertainment needs - or at least it should be. So, in that respect fans have to realize that what they are fans of isn't there primarily to meet their needs. IMO, coming from a players' or coaches' perspective the fans should also hold the programs needs above their own. Just my opinion, but I think it has to be that way for an athletic program to be healthy.
