I am glad that you recognize that you were out of line here, but remember, no matter how tired or annoyed you are, you represent not just yourself, but everyone of us in this profession. There have been many times in this hot Texas sun, 100 degrees or better, where I have worked as many as seven games in a day. No matter how silly a coach or a question might seem, I have always tried to maintain a professional attitude. We cannot be prone to temper at any time while we are on the field.
Point taken. I don't know. I just cannot understand how a coach who is supposed to be there to educate his players (This was a 10U game.) not know the game himself. Oh well, I guess it shouldn't bother me. I do have many more things to learn about what I do... the little nuances about it. I am always open to advice and comments. I appreciate it. Thanks.
