Coach,
A couple of things -
I do not and I dont think anyone of the officials on this board belittles your comminment to your kids - and if we are being hard on you it is tough love I think a lot of us have taken some shots at the officials on the game for their actions too.
The disipline of your kids as far as their control is taken from your lead - and since we see these situation over and over and over and over again - it is hard for us to feel to much sympathy when you are up 25 and making comments about calls - right or wrong.
Your 4 player did the right thing and if your 5 wasn't - for just that instant - thinking of cleaning that kids clock then I appologize to you and him.
But these kids see this stuff in the NBA or street ball or even NCAA all the time and will face some body down in these situations in a 2 point game or a 25 point game, stopping that behavior falls on the coach.
But as I said in my first post, I take issue with the officials for not calling the whole game that could have prevented this whole thing -
The way you deal with officials will go a long way to how they deal with you. Talk with us, ask questions, ask for help,it does a lot more than calling out across the floor-
Good luck with your kids.
