I've never been successful getting this called changed, but I'll keep trying.
... and all other officials on this board who also coach:

I meant when I posted "coaches don't" that obviously some do, and especially those here.

I agree that a small percentage of coaches do, and too large a percentage of officials don't, and that the officials that don't, or the ones that do but can't communicate it effectively (me), don't help to educate the coaches that don't.

Now that is a sentence!
