I've had awkward moments as well...partners addressing parents in a confrontial manner...coach and partner in a pointing match...this is way beyond awkward. It's damn near unprofessional...pretty much making a mockery of our craft with all those antics. He'd be better suited to be a rodeo clown. I don't know how any of the coaches, players, or partners take him seriously. That would be a first ballot GIGDGO-scratch candidate for me.
