If you ask a question like "What do you think that we're not seeing here, coach?", then all you're doing is encouraging more whining from that coach. He's already told you what you're not seeing----> a "reach" by the other team. Personally, at that point I'd recommend a
STFU
, or alternatively "We'll watch for it". I don't believe in allowing multiple whines. One whine in a row is enough. Instant replay is
verboten imo.
