Just out of curiousity... why in the world would you ever argue with a coach? Ever? What are you hoping to accomplish? What do you think might be gained?

I just wish I had a tape of Tim and I last spring. That was a classic that he and I will not soon forget. We both enjoyed the moment as those around us (except maybe you) were speechless......

Would have loved to have know then about my high BP, as I would have thrown that at him too. Something maybe like, "Tim you are killing me, you know my BP is bad". And Tim could have responded with, "that is my exact intention"!!! The best part was that when he left, we both had a smile on our face and actually felt better for the expression of mutual "love"...

You never head the one about wrestling with a pig in the mud? Sooner or later you learn that the pig likes it.

What does accomplishment have to do with it?

My point was - what could you purpose possibly be in arguing with a coach. No good can come of it, and often, bad will come of it.
