I wanted to start this thread to get your opinions out there. Earlier this week I officiated a game with a coach who has serious anger management problems. Not with the officials mind you, but with his players. I have officiated him in the past and it has always been the same. The level is a high school boys varsity game. Not only is he the head coach be he is also the principle of the High School.
IMO I feel that this is well over the edge on verbal "child" abuse. I looked over at him at the start of the game and his whole countence changed within the first few seconds from the first play.
Any suggestions?

Spaman,
I had a Coach like that about 7 years ago, and I found his actions to be too unsporting, to his players, to the point that I went to him during a dead ball and called him out where I quietly said, "Coach you are almost over the edge."
He told me, and I beleived him, that he was merely yelling at his players.
"I know, Coach. But I am becoming offended."
Seven years later and two or three games with him a year, and he has never approached my line while I am on the floor.
