Ok...
Around these parts 50% of our ratings come from coaches.
Right or wrong...that's the way it is. Now...you want to be aloof...be my guest...put in my experiences...the guy that can communicate with a coach (on or off the court) is the guy that is gonna get his games.
You think that is cheating? Unethical?
Well...
when you do a game with me...show me anywhere at any point in the game where you think I cheated...remember I had a brief conversation with the coach.
You are correct...the impression of coaches and officials having long coversations is of concern.
We are talking about coversations in the locker room...out of the public's eye.
Where I come from...some of the time we dress in the Home Team's Locker room. Some of the time a coach runs into us as he is going to an ajacent room...we have a brief exchange...and that's it.
Just be cordial.
Your working relationship with the Coach will begin soon enough.
