Many of these Coaches watch Bobby Knight type coaches on television and see this as some sort of inspiration for themselves. They see these coaches getting away with stuff that is totally inappropriate in an AAU/Middle School setting.
[/B][/QUOTE]Agree completely, Dude. And I think that the same holds true for some of their players. They see NCAA or NBA players on TV questioning calls, or putting on a little show- and they think that it's OK for them to do the exact same thing.
Ever notice that the sharper or better the coach, the less that they also usually have to say to you? And when they do say something, it's usually reasonable or logical? And when they're done saying it ONCE to you, they don't try to give instant replay on the same thing your next 3 trips by them? It seems to me that the coaches that still aren't sure which end of a basketball is the bouncy end are usually the ones that want to spend more of their time yapping at the officials than they do actually coaching or teaching their players.
