just a question, if the shoe fits, wear it.
But why is it alright for we officials to judge whether or not someone is a good coach but coaches get lit up in this forum if they criticize or pass judgement on a referee?
I've dealt with coaches who I've thought were total a-holes, but I don't feel that gives me some kind of special insight or expertise to determine whether or not they are an effective coach. Just b/c a coach b*tches and moans to officials all game doesn't mean he's not coaching and teaching his players. Those actions are not mutually exclusive. You can not evaluate a coach's interaction with his players based upon that coach's interactions with officials. We don't know what goes on in practices, in the huddle, in the locker room, in the classroom; we don't know the X's & O's that coach teaches.
Dealing with officials is just one part of a coach's job. Just b/c a coach may be lousy in that aspect of his job doesn't make him weak in the other aspects.
We now rejoin our regularly scheduled broadcast.....
