I dunno Dan...early in my career I would probably have just stood there and been "showed up"(and IMO, that is what the coach is doing)...but now, I gotta tell ya...I'm not so sure I would take it.

I would probably walk over to the coach and ask him if he liked my "outfit" or something. I would stand there and engage in a conversation that would either get him back to coaching (I think that is what coaches are suppose to do) or get him back to communicating with me without his unsportsmanlike conduct and playing to the crowd.

Now...if his communicating with me becomes unsporting...then I have something more tangible than staring to "work with".

Don't get me wrong...I don't want to "bait him" (even though some might say he is baiting me with the staring)...I want to "educate him" in the proper ways to handle our obvious communication break-down. If he is a quick learner...then we can be on our way with no further problems...if not, well, it's his choice.
