That's just precious. A coach lecturing us about the virtues of just ignoring the jerks. You'll have to excuse me if I seem a little jaded on this subject. But when it comes to youth, rec league basketball, my experience is that most of the jerks are found standing in the coaches box. Ranting. Raving. Waving their arms and stomping. And if you ignore that jerk, the crowd starts feeding off his bad behavior, and so do the players.
But hey, I'll sleep better now knowing that as long as I don't act like a jerk, everybody will respect me for just ignoring him.
Get a life.
