Nope, those are unsporting comments and definitely deserve a T. Those comments coming from an adult in a youth environment are unacceptable. Youth sports is about teaching the kids proper behavior, not just how to play the game. If you refuse to T for this, then please stop officiating youth games and work only adult leagues.
Also I've said it before and will say it again, the only officials who use the words "rabbit ears" are the ones who are too weak-willed to properly assess unsporting technical fouls. |
Wow !! Considering the responses from Jurrasic and Nevada, who I respect as knowledgable officials (vs my 1.5 years of experience), I will change my opinion on the OP and strive to better my game management skills regarding coaches comments.....
