It's got nothing to do with fair play or sportsmanship if done correctly. And when your kids are getting the short end of the whistle, they want their coach to try and stand up for them in every legal way possible. They respect that.

Did I get a bit PO'ed that one game. You bet. I was getting inconsistent calls, and they ref's were missing obvious one's which they shouldn't have, especially considering how they called the game early.

Nope, you don't get it. And you obviously never will get it either, Bozo. I just can't bring myself to call you "coach". I have too much respect for the real coaches that are out there.

Go back to keeping the referees honest,working for your legal advantage and staying in the ref's ears. Get those calls. That's really the most important part of coaching middle school girls basketball teams, isn't it?
