Being new school, I will say that is not true. What others are saying is your approach my work for you and it may not for others. Tolerance levels are different. I personally would not ask a coach for any assistance with a player. I will handle the situation. I would not even attempt to giving a coach any opportunity to help me officiate the game that is my JOB!! Someone, stated earlier coaches and player know who the problem player will be and they would normally step in and handle the situation. One can still commuicate with the coaches, I believe this is done when they are asking a question (jmo) any other time leave them alone. So it is not an old school vs
new shcool philosophy.
