Wow. I have no chance of figuring out why some high school coach is doing what they do. I've known my brother for 42 years and couldn't tell you why he does what he does half the time. I just don't think I'm gonna have much luck figuring out some stranger in less than an hour and half. Quite franlky I don't care to either. The coaches are there to coach and be role models, not act like my 2 year old nephew.

Coaches pop off for a variety of reasons.

A. can't coach - it's the refs fault we lost
B. Not enough talent and can't coach--it's the refs fault we lost
C. Have talent and can't coach-it's the refs fault we lost.

It's easier to blame then to accept responsibility. It's pretty easy to expect perfection from others then to accept that calls get kicked. I am a believer that the incessant whiners just don't know what they're doing so they whine. Heck any self respecting alley cat can do that for an hour and a half.
