You think coaches don't agonize over their decisions that went south?
You don't get 10% of the grief coaches get. The get it, depending on their level, from some combination of players, parents, league officials, school officials, the press, the TV talking heads, their barber, the convenience store clerk when they go in to buy their beer to cry in, and Billy's Grandmother. Coaches get fired for making too many bad decisions - you just move on to your next game.
Then they see in the news that a supervisor of officials put a bounty on a coach - "in jest" he said - and didn't even get a wrist slap. Dash posts that you should find a way to dump the coach in the OP every time and Ozzy agrees. Vendetta time? Wonderful!
And you think the coach is the one who is out of line?

Yeah Rich, I agree with Dash. The coach ran his mouth to the press and lied (as far as we know). We really can't do anything about the press so when we see him again, he has no leash at all. He goes on the first problem. When he questions, I have no problem telling him the next time he speaks to the press, speak for yourself and no one else. Remember, Rich, no one ever speaks for us (umpires). Coaches get to spew their diarrhea and the press loves it. We have no input so when coaches want to be jerks, they will be spectators for a while. Maybe they will learn their lesson.
