Out of the Box

I am on the Frosh/Jv circuit. So no Varsity t's. I got to the last 1/3 rd of my season and I had it with the coaches. It is like these people are wild, homeless, animals. I know it's lower level and the quality of everyone involved is not Varsity level but the coaches need to start acting like adults/role models.
I am more than willing to work with coaches but not these escapees from the local zoo. Out of the box, yelling at me. Automatic T. No cajoling them to behave properly, no screaming at me allowed, no threatening me with parking lot justice, no nothing.
Next to last game the assignor and the owner of the assigning company (125 schools) show up. Early 2 QTR ball goes OOB at end of bench. I am getting ready to administer throw-in and lo and behold there is a screaming lunatic in my face. He was about 10 feet out of the box. Tweet T. Partner thought I should have worked with the coach, you know offer something like sexual favors or whatever to get back in the box and act in accordance with the guidelines established for animals, I mean coaches. halftime the bosses came in and lo and behold they about wet themselves they were SO HAPPY that someone is enforcing the coaching box rules. Last 15 games 12 T's, 10 of them coaching box violations,2 for kids dropping F bombs.

I know some people think that the T's are a crutch but someone on here also pointed out it is just another foul. It Is not that hard to stay within the little white taped lines we put down. I regret not 1 of the coaching box T's.
