Wade,
Here are some thoughts I've got regarding your JV coach and what happened. When unchecked, things & people genereally escalate. Somebody before your game did not do their job properly and allowed this coach to think that what he did was OK. It wasn't. You had the chance to fix that by handling the situation correctly. You didn't. Now, this coach is likely to do this again, maybe/probably even more vehemently. Somebody else is now going to have to clean up this mess.
Mike made the statement that he does not toss anyone who didn't toss themselves through their actions. I agree with that, completely. I've not tossed anyone this year ( and only tossed 5 in the last 3 years - over 650 games). I'd like to think that should the need arise, I will recognize it and handle it. I think that's a real key point here - recognize the situation, be ready to handle it, and handle it.
