Outstanding Pizanno!
You summed up the philosophy that I have internalized well but verbalized poorly at times. Basketball courts are a great place to learn life lessons. Coaches must teach players to become more than athletes. Coaches are one of many adult influences that will teach these players how to be successful adults. Teach them to accept the good and bad calls as part of the environment and to take care of what they control - that's one of those important lessons they can take away from the game and apply to life situations.
