I have been trying to figure out how to communicate with a coach when there is action and he is asking questions. Most of the time he is just venting anyways. It seems best the best time is during a foul shot.

Keep it short. It's like a set of skills. You'll figure it out eventually-hopefully sooner then later. Took me some time of concentrated energy to acquire the short and sweet answer skill but I got it now. Practice it in ,maybe non violatile times.
If venting appropriately I nod and act interested in what they're saying.
If yelling....paraphrased " No yelling at us tonight."
Coach then goes "blah blah blah."
I repeat " No yelling at us tonight"
Next time I take care of it.
Last night GV coach starts the yelling stuff at the tip , I cruise her , give her the spiel. Next time down she starts the yelling again. No brainer . Tweet T.As I'm walking away from table I hear Assistant tell her " I told you homes doesn't play."
For a white guy from the burbs I was tickled pink that I'm a homes.
She stopped yelling . There was 7.13 on the clock, 1st quarter.
