Hey Jim, sounds like you're handling things well, keep it up! Some advice that I haven't seen posted yet:
- If an ejected coach refuses to leave don't argue. Tell him either he leaves or you leave. If he doesn't leave you go. The OTHER coach will not be happy with his opponent! Do not argue, demand or yell. Just go.
- Not always available at this level but if there's game security let them do the dirty work. After telling the coach he's been ejected tell game security/management you won't start until he's gone and you're not going to wait too long before you go. From that point do not say a word to the coach. If he walks up to you walk away.
- You have an assignor? An association? These coaches for sure have an AD or principal. Make some phone calls & let everyone know who the trouble makers are.
- Indy's #4 is fine - go to the trouble maker man-to-man, tell him you're working hard for him and you'll keep working hard for him but there's a reason you are both at this level and he's gotta back off. Just remember, you're gonna get better but he most likely won't.
- A good way to avoid the parking lot scenes is to give it 15 minutes or so before you leave after a heated game situation. Take a shower. Don't leave alone, walk out with your partner. Do not talk to anyone on the way out after a bad scene. If someone comes up to you keep walking. If they bother you use your cell phone & call the cops.
