In Oregon, we are required to ask these questions or something like them:
- Coach, are your players properly equipped...shirts in, no jewelry, etc?
- Will your team display good sportsmanship
No matter their answer (yes or no), we are to say thank you and move on.
Everyone either says yes or "if you see otherwise, let me know because I won't tolerate it".
I suppose the delivery, if not done in the right way (too harshly or accusingly), could elicit an unfavorable response in some cases.
