I like your parents!
And when I was a kid, it was not even approved to call adults by their first name. And it definitely was not approved by my parents to say and do anything in front of adults.
Amen! All too often, respect is lacking. And I have considerable respect for a coach that makes respectable behavior a priority for his players. A local coach here has the #1 Class A team in the state, but his top player is a hot head.
Two weekends ago, the hot head pulled back-to-back T's for losing his temper and arguing with the official. He then proceeded to give the bench a swift kick. This past Friday, the player served a one-game suspension for his behavior against the #6 team in class 3A. Despite jumping out to a 22-4 lead, they finally lost in a nail-biter. Hot head never got in the game. The coach was willing to sacrifice the #1 ranking to teach this kid a lesson. I hope it took.
