irritation
coaches like this one really irritate me. At the HS level, coaches still have an obligation to set an example for their players. I will allow a coach to come out and discuss, as an adult, a call. If I blow a call, I expect to get a chewing from coach. That said, this coach did 2 no-nos in my book and is going home.
1) he made his comments personal - "You...", unless he says that "You are the greatest umpire ever" he's going home.
2) he made an a$$ out of himself apparently because he could.
All in all - good call. HHH advocates a no tolerance policy with coaches and his rapid ejections prevent situations like this from developing. You might try it with this coach. It is a very effective persuasive technique.
