Coach's surprising comment

[Mark Padgett]

Worked three boys rec games yesterday - two 6th grade and one 8th grade. One of the 6th grade teams played back-to-back games. They got blown out in both by at least 35 points. After their second loss, one of their players was at the bench and stated pretty loudly "Those refs stink". His coach got right in front of him and said "Don't blame the refs when you play bad. We lost those games because the other teams played much better than we did. The refs had nothing to do with it."

I almost wanted to go over and give him a big hug, but naah.
