I had a screamer last season in a regular season HS sophomore girl's game. Kind of strange. He was a yeller at everyone. His players, us, etc.
Here's why I didn't have a problem in this game though...He would say his piece and move on without coming back to it. Even though he was yelling, I sort of recognized that he only had one volume. Was it showing us up? Maybe...but the fact that he would say one thing and move on didn't bother me at all.
Could I have T'd him? Probably, but I appreciated his intensity, and if it had been a problem I would have said something like "Coach, I really appreciate your intensity, but could you take it down a notch when you ask us a question?" IIRC, he was a reasonable guy, and I think he would have had no problem acquiescing (sp?).
