High school coaches know when to stop but youth coaches are often worst than the kids they "coach". Thought maybe I would start a post about funny things these guys have done this season.

Team losing by a lot with a few minutes left to go. The opposition has the ball 4th down and makes a first down by about a yard. Coach starts complaining they should get the first from across the field. Assistant says, "Measure."

Measurement confirms first down for the other team. Coach starts complaining you ought to give it to us because we are losing. Tell the coach, "Enough."

Next play opposition runs for a touchdown. Hear comes the coach now clapping and saying, "See what you did." Tell the coach I have heard enough and get back in the box. He keeps up his tirade. I tell him, "that's enough!" and toss the flag.

Still doesn't shut up. Finally, "Coach!" I said, "I have heard enough."

Not to be outdone, he responds, "I'm not finihsed, yet!"

To which my response was to reach in my pocket, get out the second flag and inform him, "Now you are."

What took so long?
