I have to agree with this statement. As a student, I was a part of a high school and college team where the coaches were "old school" with player-official interaction. Some of the stuff that went on now would not happen under their watch.
But yes, I think that as the NBA players whine and complain on every possession about calls and no-calls, it's trickled down to lower levels witht he thought that it must be acceptable.
Not sure what I think of the coach that's the subject of this thread, but if it teaches his kids not to get T's, so be it. But hopefully he makes allowance for the situation. I'd be less likely to sit a kid that got a T for hanging on the rim than I would for mouthing off to an official.
