tried this w/ parents
Had a 3 hr break in a tourney last month and was stuck waaaaay out in the boonies with no other games happening. As comic relief, gave my players and parents part 1 of the 2002 Fed test. Told them all they had to grade out at least 85% if they wanted to yell at refs at any of our games. Prior to this, we fined the parents 50 cents for each outburst and it went into the "Coaches Kitty". Gotta get used to 7-11 coffee instead of Starbucks due to reduced revenues. One of the parents wanted to quit the team so he could continue to assail the officials. Told him to bring a roll of quarters and at least sit with the other team!!!
Happy to report we have good luck so far except we almost got a tech for USC when an official called our opponents for travelling during a spot throw in!! Goes to prove a little knowledge can be very dangerous.
Thanks again to all you guys and gals who wear the stripes
