Last night in boys V game I had a timeout request. It was a full, I started the TO and the scorekeeper told me that the team had no more TO's left. After the TO I went to the coach and told him he had none left. His response (after a full TO) was, "How can you let that guy run through our guy? This is not football?" I can't believe the guy was focusing on a play a while back and had to let me have it after he had talked to his team for a minute and I had informed him about the TO situation. My response was silence. You can't get into trouble and you can't be misquoted with silence. I've learned to say less and although at first it was tough to do, I have had fewer confrontations and my attitude has improved.
