This is a tough one. I know a lot of guys would say you should just forget what happened before and approach it like any other game, but that's just not realistic. You can't get it out of your mind. You just have to get through it. Whatever is going to happen will happen. The only thing I would say is when you interact with the coaches before the game, at least "act" like nothing has ever happened. Talk to the coaches like you would any other game, even though you're anxious inside. Make him be the one to initiate any bad behavior, and make no references to the previous game. If he starts ragging on you, do what you have to do and do it quickly. The best thing is that it will be over in about 90 minutes. Remember you're there for the players, not for him. I'll bet you're going to be so focused on the game that you will probably call one of your best games of the season. Now if your partner puts you out on an island for kicking out a priest, that's another story...
