It is but it's also a great learning moment for all of us.

We're taught so much about how to handle coaches and players but dealing with partners who may do something like this isn't mentioned quite as often. Most if not all of us have worked with that guy. Maybe not someone who does something as rockheaded as this - and something that's caught on camera, no less - but definitely close. Our forum member showed a surprising amount of restraint given the situation. I've been told I have the patience of a saint but I think when Dude came back to me at the 1:19 mark I probably don't even look at him. When he does it again at the 1:42 mark I probably give him a "stop" sign just to avoid the possibility of cursing him out. This is a great example of putting the job at hand above everything else for the sake of the kids, even if stupid gets in the way.
