The best advice I have received regarding handling coaches is, treat them the way a healthy mature parent treats a 4-year-old child. You humor them along and try to "work things out" to a point, but if the coach steps over the line, whack him/her. You draw the line and you warn the child/coach when he/sne is getting close to it. But never move the line once it is set. And expect a temper tantrum, but don't allow any escalation. If you think about this a little, it might be the perfect set of guidelines for you, as it has been for me.
