First off....
I want to say a wholehearted THANKS to all the "volunteers" who coach youth athletics.... MOST are great with kids, teaching fundamentals and sportsmanship, and give it their all. Unfortunately we are forced to discuss the extremely small fraction of these coaches that really bring a "bad rap" to the majority.
In the original posting by Mike Sears... I believe a "T" after the proverbial "line in the sand" was necessary. Sometimes they are unavoidable. I also believe the posts that advocate the "I've heard enough" response, give you (the official) some leeway as to how you deal with further dialogue with the bench.
"I also admit, hindsight is 20/20." (Maybe this should be my new signature)
