(PAUSE)

"DO YOU WANT TO GET INTO MY BUSINESS?"

"Do you want to argue balls and strikes?"

"Are you arguing balls and strikes?" is a question I have used on a number of occassions. Some will shut up and some will open their mouth and admit they are, which get's them tossed. Call it baiting if you want, but if the dummy is stupid enough to answer yes he deserves the toss.

I think the real problem with asking such a question is it opens the door for a myriad of responses that could leave you in an untenable position, and it shifts both focus and control to the responder. A wily coach will seize the opportunity. I think it's wiser to avoid giving him the chance.
