Jim, I didn't understand Jerry's post to mean intolerant at all, but rather, to be cautious.
All may not be what it appears to be..............
Just my opinion,

No, Steve, I wasn't implying that he meant that we should be intolerant. Obviously he wouldn't mean that. That's why I worded it the way I did.
What I can't understand is how to be, "cautious." There's a coach on the field who asked me politely what I saw. How do I respond if I'm being cautious as opposed to simply explaining to him what I saw? I think in either case we just explain what we saw. If he gets insulting after that, deal with it then.
A coach is sure to react negatively if he detects that you are suspicious of him from the outset.
