Here's a sentence I'm keeping in my bag of tricks for a certain coach with whom the basketball history isn't good.

"Coach, we've butted heads in the past, but if you'll put it behind you, I will too, and maybe we can both have a great game, what'd'ya say?"

If anyone tries this, and it works, let ronny and me know. Thanks.
