Very Calm

I think it is easy to sit back and say I would have T'd him earlier, which I may have in this situation, but your calmness is impressive. I know my problem is getting angry when I am being yelled at. If you can remain calm and professional you can never be wrong.

Anger makes things worse and can cause to early of a T or a bad response. Believe me I know...

Coaches cannot call time out to speak with you. "Coach please use your time out to coach your team." Turn and walk away. Now if he screams more you have your Lay-up of a T.

Wow this is like Therapy for me...I feel better just thinking about these words and now that I have written them down, I feel like I can use them calmly. If I have a canned response ready, I can use it under stress.
