OK ... we all know that most of us probably behave differently here than in the "real world". And while I admit that the two of us probably got under our skin and both said things a bit more strongly and with less tact than we might have in real life...
and for my part I apologize for reacting that way...

I have to wonder, given your adverse/argumentative reaction to people ALL OVER the country telling you that your expectations of 100% hustle, 100% of the time, for 2 days straight over 8/11 games was unrealistic, I'm surprised you say you behave this way with evaluators you come face-to-face with. Why would you have not given THIS crowd (A crowd made up of 90% officials that care enough that they go onto a board like this in the first place, 9% coach/rats/parents wanting to stir trouble, and 1% 1-time parents/coaches with legit questions) the same courtesy. You immediately became argumentative when questioned at all.
