For me, a 7th grade coach wouldn't be jabbering the whole game because the first time they did it, they would be warned, the second, they would be taken care of. A coach can yell at their players all they like, they can also ask me questions appropriately as much as they like. Yelling, "what are you looking at" is not a question. This is a comment I might have "not heard" in a varsity game, but in a JH game it would have been taken care of. I'm a big believer in modeling (in my classroom and such) and I think coaches, especially at the lower levels, should show their players what good sportsmanship looks like.
