But you certainly answered him quite defensively. 
"It was the stomping, the waving his hands very pointedly right in front of my face, and the bellowing directly in my ear. It was a single act, timed to happen just as I was right in front of him. It was a physical, personal threat, designed to intimidate and belittle me. Designed, I say!!" |
true rookie said, "Personally, I do not have a problem on running the coach. The way it was presented is you ran the coach, because of the jumping up and down on the sideline. This may not be the entire picture. JMO."
I originally posted, "he jumps up and lands on one stomping foot and then the other, simultaneously throwing his hands straight up in the air, right in front of my face, and shouting (loud enough that my partner on the far endline heard him), "Wwwaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!"" I was just clarifying that it wasn't just for jumping up and down.
You said, "I do. How is a coach stomping and yelling making a travesty of the game?
Unsporting? Yeah. Ejection? Possibly. "
I took that as questioning. I guess I misunderstood. I don't feel defensive about making the call. Which is rare for me, I usually question everything I do.
Frankly, I don't feel defensive about the tone of the games and the no-calls. I was helping out a friend, and I did it in the way that would be helpful to him. For me to assert (inject?) my own philosophy into a situation that had nothing to do with me was simply not appropriate. I will assert myself next time by simply not doing those games again.
