Good Call Gesture

Well that is unfortunate and that is how often we can change something, but as I see it so what. The coach already thinks we see everything that happens and complains when something takes place that we are in no way able to see or rule on realistically. All this does for me is tell the coach, "I agree with the call." If they get upset after that, that is there problem. I think we often have to stop caring what coaches think so much about things that happen or even what they say. Again, a coach can say all kinds of things to us but we tend to tippy-toe around them with our words. I have just found that is a waste of time in most cases. Heck you could say to the coach, "I wasn't talking to you." Let them get a taste of their own medicine.
