I had a high level idiot coach this weekend.

I called a foul from the C position, opposite table in the first half. I had noticed earlier when my partners were making calls he would gesture the "all ball" signal. He did this a few times. Well when I made this particular call this coach did it again. So after I reported the foul I went right to him. The conversation went something like this.

Coach-"He got all ball."

Me-"Coach I really do not care about that at this point, you need to stop gesturing."

Coach-"So you are telling me...."

Me-"Coach you are not listening to me, I told you to stop gesturing."

Coach-"So you are admitting......"

Me-"You obviously are not listening to me. I do not care what you think about the call, I just need you to stop gesturing every time we make a call. If you do not do so, then we are going to have a problem.

We did not have any major problems the rest of the game.

I even gave a T to one of his kids later in that game and he tried to argue a call, but did so in a much more reserved tone and non-verbal communication. He got the message that we were not playing with him and he adjusted his behavior. I made several calls that did not go this teamÂ’s way and he did not say a word after our conversation. For the record this is also a first year varsity coach that was playing a team that had not won a single game all year at this point. And this was the very first home game of the team that was winless. This coach's team was suspected to demolish the home team and have some bigger games coming up in the next few days. They lost by 10 or so points and were outplayed pumped up team that had a packed house.

Peace
