Should I have whacked this coach?

Those coaches have "learned on their part" that you are not a ref to be taken umbrage with. Yet, given the value of your aim to become better, may I ask you: I thought B Coach's remark was more acerbic despite him just saying 'one' remark as compared to two; what are your fundamental criteria for imposing a T?

Paradigm, disdainful,umbrage, acerbic,....U couldnt have learned that in Kansas. Speak English...Like your talking to a 6th grader please (for me) (That comes from "Philadelphia." Great movie. ).

I would have told them both that the only way they could continue to coach the game was if they provided me with a list, including phone numbers, of all their team's hot moms.
