I officiate MS and Rec league ball.

Within the same Big Ten program, I have officiated the children of two different coaches. The head coach of this program would come in, sit back, watch his child play and not say a word to anyone the entire time (and everyone seemed scared to talk to him as well). Within the same team, another coach was ejected from her child's game in which she was working the scorers table because she was arguing with the officials. This was after her husband (a local high school coach, and that rec teams coach) was tossed for arguing with the officials. Two vastly different situations with the head and assistant coach of the same team (the assistant coach had success at the DII level and is now a DI head coach).

Tuesday I had a coach for the same school, different sport, watching his daughter play. He was very polite and professional as a parent and even told the officials we did a good job after the game.
Why is any of this surprising? They are different people.

If you believe him when he told you you were good, are you going to believe him when he tells you that you suck?
