Similarly, my ejection rate has fallen over the years. Early on, I was taught to establish myself as one who will not take any crap. It was rough going, but as the years went on, I was approached by my peers who stated that I had "calmed down" when in reality, it was the coaches who learned that if they didn't irritate me, they could stay in the game.

Some of you say that it is a great feeling when you can walk off a field and not be remembered. I prefer to walk onto the field and have older coaches tell the younger assistants "If you screw with this guy, you are on your own!".

Was I a red-a$$? In my day, yes I was. I did what I had to do, that was the way the system worked then so I adapted to it.
