My Confession(s):

I whacked a player the other night for saying, "C'mon man" after I called a foul on him. Of course it wasn't necessarily for the comment...as much as the gesture (palms up looking at me as he spoke) that got him.

The coach wanted to know "what he said". I told him, but stated that it "wasn't as much WHAT he said as HOW he said it".

He wouldn't let it go. He said, "I have to know WHAT HE SAID so I can tell teach him not to SAY THAT."

I had already told him. Now I started to get "HOSTILE"...(my wife's words, as she was in the stands watching)

I suppose I did get somewhat "flustered"...(alternate's words, at the table)
because I kind of yelled back at the coach.

I haven't been questioned about these types of T's for awhile...so I guess I did kind of lose my cool.

I will commit to getting back to my old self...and just calmly explain unsporting actions.
(Something the coach can teach as well)
