I have called several games for him since, and we joke about it. Yesterday, at a tournament, he walked in the gym between games and stood close to me. I gave him the big T sign and we laughed about it. He told me he had not been like that since. I told him he seemed a lot calmer since he switched to decaf. [/B]

Damian, Its great to have a good rapport with the coach. However, I think, good or bad, past games are best forgotten. Coaches need the confidence of the official that the past is the past and forgotten. What if you have a bad situation in the future with this coach, he might feel uncomfortable in games thereafter. I've T'd coaches in the 1st half, and the coach came out to apoligize in the 2nd half, I immediately say, coach its aready forgotten. I do believe they go away feeling better.
