The other night during a game, while I was the center and standing in front of a team's bench, the coach said to one of his players "don't foul the second time, they'll see that. They didn't see the first foul, but they will see the second."
Which led to the following exchange... Me: (without turning to look at the coach) "Coach, don't do that." Coach: "Do what?" Me: "Say something like that right in front of me." Coach: "I can say what I want to my players." Me: "Not right in front of me you can't." This ended things because the ball was stolen and went on a fast break the other way. I don't care whether the coach is yelling or talking in a normal tone of voice. I'm just as concerned about WHAT they say as I am in HOW they say it. |

Were you working with me last night? Almost the same exact conversation, only it went like this: Coach: Why did you see there, I thought she got all ball? (politely asked) Me: I didn't see her hand on the ball, but I did see her whack her arm. Coach: Really? Me: Thats why I had coach Coach: Well halftime we can go watch the film if you want to. Me: Coach, don't do that. We had a good conversation up until that point. Coach: Dont do what? Me: Really? (seem appropriate given his earlier comment)

Nothing the coach said crossed any line. Bryan should've not even acknowledged it. |

But 1) he'd been complaining about not calling illegal screens where neither myself, my partners, or the guy evaluating us, saw even one. And 2) it was clearly a way to complain yet again to me about not getting a call. Passive-aggressive crap if you will. And that type of thing is unnecessary. It's no different IMO than a coach flat-out looking at you and saying "that was a bad call." Maybe not t-worthy, but not something I'm going to ignore either. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk |

The more I think about it the more I think you're right. I should have let it go. I just didn't like how he did it while literally standing right next to me. Seemed like a real BS move.
But we're supposed to be the bigger men, so... |

He said it for your benefit, of course. I've come to realize it doesn't matter. During games, I carry a whistle, he doesn't. |
