Rainmaker, great job! Ain't this fun?
As for the list, I think #2 is kind of harmless (unlike
Tony) unless it's said in a menacing voice. I usually hear
it as a whine, and in that case I'll ask something
like "you think you should have more than 7?". One time
a coach complained to me that I need to be calling more
fouls on his opponent (he was blue). I looked at
him sincerely & said "yeah coach, that blue team has been
getting rough, I will take care of it." He nearly had a
stroke trying to correct me "No, no, I mean white! I'm
blue!" "Yeah coach, I know, I'll take care of blue right
now!" I said, giving him the thumbs up as I jogged away.
Poor guy. #1 on the list is a hot button for me, when a
coach gives me the call-it-both-ways crap I will
tell him to knock it off unless he wants to accuse me of
cheating. All the rest I ignore beause they are comments.
Real questions asked at the right time should not be
ignored, IMO. But as soon as a coach starts repeating
himself or says "yeah but..." it's time to move on.
