ump24,
I think that also. And the reason that I remove my mask for discussion and hold it behind my back, is so the player, or coach, can see that I am not hiding behind it, and that they are talking with a real person.

Mick, I only agree with you if the discussion is a calm rules discussion. But if they want to argue judgement and debate with me, then the mask is going to stay on. And if I have to take it off, they have got a problem and it might be time for them to go. But if we are talking about the bigger kids and the more advanced levels, like a varsity or college level, I am keeping it on. But understand, this is very personal like other things in the game, so good people can disagree. I just feel that this works for me, not necessarily everyone else. And believe me, you are not wrong, it is just different.

Peace
