Oh man, sometimes things can get complicated. I think Rocky is right, but I also believe we should only answer questions. Those two don't go together, but that is where experience - which Rocky has - will help. Getting in the habit of responding to everything you hear will get you in trouble. However, we can't ignore coaches either. A coach who is ignored can get worse in a hurry. Giving a T is certainly not ignoring the situation.

On a similar/side note, because of some situations at work, I looked up the definition of "Approachable." To sum things up, people and/or coaches who are quick to say someone isn't approachable are more than likely wrong, but also somewhat of a coward for not accepting possible responsibility for the problem with communication. Does that fact change people from using this? No, but now I know what I'm dealing with. Again, this happened because of a situation I had with 500+ young men and women at work.
