"Coach, I appreciate all of your help in watching your opponents commit the fouls that you see that I don't. It appears that you are very knowledgeable in seeing fouls. So from now on, I will only watch your players for fouls and you tell me when you see the opponent foul. Most coaches just laugh and will say something like, "okay I get the message."'
CaUmpJW,
Are you kidding me. The worst thing to do out there is to be a smart a$$. I can't believe the coaches just smile and pat you on the back after a statement like that. This kind of statement drives me nuts more than a complaining coach. And all this talk about stern looks. Do you guys think this coach can read your mind? Guess again. The coach needs to know he is reaching the limit, tell him, don't just look at him like "if you say that again, I going to tell mommy!" Cmathews is right, if he is not going to start coaching, be ready to bust him 15 yards. One other thing, on a play like this early in the game, we can't let it go on all game long and then decide to throw a UC late in the 4th period on a critical drive. If we put up with it that long, we are better off to take it to the house.
