If it is not directed toward me or my partners I'm not giving a T in HS or AAU. I'm not saying this is right or wrong, it is just not a path I want to go down.
Have you ever heard a coach "talk to their players or staff" when it is obvious it is directed toward you?
Example: Coach says to his players, "Keep blocking out, we will eventually get that call." I've made a mistake of saying something like "Coach, there wasn't a blockout there (or something similar)." Coach immediately says, "I was talking to my players, not you."
Although I know why the comment was made he was not talking to me.
This is a reason I try to live by these guidelines I learned from a vet:
Ignore comments
Answer questions
Penalize insanity
The coach is acting insane in the huddle and that is not my business IMO. If a parent wants to complain and it is a HS game I would direct her to the AD. If it is an AAU game, well, they can probably find another coach they can play for.
