Exactly. And my portion of he 15 seconds will consist of more than 10 words. But I also have a cut-off point where if the coach asks a question, and I answer it, he doesn't get to debate my answer or repeat the question.
This past weekend I had to tell a coach, "I already answered your question". The first time nicely, the 2nd very tersely and was the last interaction I had with the coach the rest of the game. Of course, earlier in the game, this coach complained about a offensive push-off after I called a defensive foul on his player. When my response was "I'll look out for it", his response was "it's too late now". So this jack-wagon had already run out of rope by the second interaction.
