This usually ends the whining.

Yes, I can be very gracious. Sometimes, not so much. Depends on the actions/words of the coach leading to that exchange.
Maybe it's just me.... but from some of these threads, you guys seem to have a LOT more time hanging around by the coaches than I do. There's no way I typically have time for that long of an exchange. I have stuff to do, and very little of it requires me to be next to the coach.
