I just watched the match. BJ got very frustrated early in the match, then just conceded Shaun each of the last 4 games with still a number of balls left on the table in each rack, including after what appeared to be intentionally launching the cue ball off the table for the 2nd break in a row - alternate breaks.
I agree with the OP - a disgraceful performance by BJ in regards to not handling his emotions, although he did at least appear to keep his mouth shut, unlike Earl does when he gets rattled.
This is certainly not the first time this has happened with BJ - he has a reputation of being a poor loser.

Bad take.
the full quote is less damning, I think, but yea, that was tough to watch.
I watched Filler Feijen instead.
I don't think anyone wonders why pool can't make it.
Another beautiful ending
Ever see all the asswipes in big pro sports?? Pool is not on main-stream media's radar for a lot of reasons. I think this would be way down the list.
Where was the stream/announcers booth in relation to the table?
I could understand a real annoyance building if all the side play/conversations with the kids became distracting…

lol I'm a Filler fan but not too enamored with the victory animal show.
It sounds like B.J. was more angry at himself than at Shaun Wilkie.
Non-ranking tournaments such as this should be fun. Nobody wants to lose. I remember years ago when one player lost a match and took his head and banged it on the corner of the table hard, so hard it drew blood, because he was so disappointed. Some people take it more seriously than others, I guess.
The comment by the commentator about the testosterone is probably on point. There are some rivalries and feuds that exist. I'm out of the loop on which players have a beef with the other, but I know a couple players who are not on my birthday cake list because of the way they act when in competition.
As an aside, I remember years ago that B.J. would drive to various homes and pick up players who didn't have a car and take them to the pool tournaments so they could shoot in it and have some fun. He was working a full-time job at the time and played in pool tournaments almost every weekend on the East Coast, wherever there was one.

what a whole bag of nothing. worth a thread, really? the guy rakes the balls in some non-ranking barbox tournament. almost everyone has been in that situation, frustated with himself or "the rolls", conceded games. to me this says nothing about mr ussery other than that he was frustated that day
Yes, very unprofessional livestream to have his young kids interrupting the commentating for virtually the entire final match. As bad as the match was, it didn’t really matter.
Why does it matter whether you show your ass because you’re mad at yourself or you’re mad at your opponent? Either way, it’s not cool in my opinion, particularly for a live stream match.
