My coach is always calling us stupid, and other stuff. When we make a mistake he yells profane language at us. I'm getting tired of this and don't know what to do. What would you all do?

Why not give the coach a T?
 

He is calling you names (getting personal).

He used profane language.

It sounds like he was doing this more than once. I think you should have done something earlier than let this just go on, but I see nothing wrong with T'ing the coach at this point.

Peace

Poor boy !
 

What we usually tried to do was to quit screwin' up.

Verbal Abuse
 

Probably a dumb question on my part? Is this verbal abuse directed towards the players or the officials? Sorry I'm knew to the board so I dont know who Blade is.

Jeff, he's a player, not an official.

If it's a huge issue for you AND your teammates, then you should get your parents involved and request a meeting with the AD.

Re: Poor boy !
 

That doesn't justify some of the profanity that's directed at kids these days.

I am with Mick on this one.
 

Well, that changes things does it not. ;)

I agree in principle. But you would have to tell me what words were being used in order for me to have a problem with it. What some consider offensive, others consider everyday conversation.

Quietly let the officials know and ask them if they would address it with the coach if they hear anything unsporting such as what you are talking about. Or ask them to report it to the state.

Should not get involved.
 

Any official worth their salt is not going to get in the middle of that. Especially when they do not hear anything.

Coddle away, if you like.
 

I do not coddle whiners.

Re: Should not get involved.
 

Its funny this came up. I had a D1 official tell me earlier this week, she had a naia game and she T'd the coach verbal abuse to his players. He constantly yelling and calling them stupid.

Re: Re: Should not get involved.
 

I once warned a Coach about such a decorum distraction, and he stopped.

Re: Re: Should not get involved.
 

I think someone raised an interesting point some time back. When they saw an article and stated the experience level of the D1 Men's officials and the experience of a particular D1 Female official that got to that level in about 3 years. I realize everyone is going to overract to my statement, but a female D1 official might have less experience at officiating, then most HS officials I know. ;)

Peace

document the situations.

take it to school authorities
