While you may remember the coach, school, or team, each game they should start with a clean slate - don't hold grudges, it won't serve you well.

IMO, it is not appropriate to bring this up.

Example – had a situation my first yr doing HS where a young, first-yr F coach was upset with us and came into our locker room at the end of the game to tell us what he thought of us. V officials escorted him out. I filed a report. He got his. Told my Assignor if he wanted to remove me from future games at that school I would understand. He didn’t remove me. Backed me all the way.

Went back three weeks later – my antennae were up! Nothing was said. Nothing happened. It turned out to be just another game and a good lesson.
