Do as I say, not as I do.....
A pet peeve of mine is when sr offiicals, trainers, mentors tell me to do one thing and then either they go out and do the opposite or allow their partners to do it.
Examples - Tweet, tweet, tweet - "Only blow the whistle once;" "You used a team control vice player control foul signal;" reporting to the table using two hands vs Fed one hand; hustling on the court; uniform - shiny shoes, allowing a player to play with a sleeve, not doing a good pre-game, joking or talking too much with with coaches, "When there's a crash, you always must call something;" rarely calling a charge; etc.
I try to be by the book, learn from my mistakes, take what others say and process it - and use what's best. But, don't gig me and then do whatever it is you want to do......
My $.02 and off my soap box.
