But would any of you in the "I'll come clean (a little)" camp admit anything in an adversarial encounter? J40 mentioned "argument." I generally dont argue at all. I may listen attentively, even nod wisely, but I dont argue.
I think coaches who remain calm and have minimal but pertinent input get more out of me by way of explanation or the extremely rare (we're talkin' Dodo here) "that was a weak one..." I think many of you will agree with that. The coaches who b&m from jump ball to final horn get nothing but my heels as I fly past.
And J40, you will notice that none of them have said they would actually come out and say they were wrong. The whistle sounds and a call is made, good, bad, or indifferent. Even if it's the wrong call, its still stands under normal circumstances (double whistles, set aside rules...notwithstanding.) Under no circumstances would any of us consider changing a call based on a discussion with only one coach. Thats another topic
