NEVER let a coach scream or yell at you, NEVER.

As soon as he/she raises their voice you shut them down immediately. Give them an opportunity to re-address you in a respectful and professional manner. If they fail to do so either T them up or walk away, whichever is more appropriate.

If you need some lines to shut them down:

- Coach, you need to stop yelling at me, immediately.
- Coach, we're not having a conversation until you stop yelling
- Coach, I will not tolerate you raising your voice

Make the statement directly and sternly with no wiggle room for debate. It matters not what level or how accomplished the coach.
