Coach: "The Fouls are 7-2!"

[DownTownTonyBrown]

It takes TWO to fight.

The only thing you can do without taking the next step toward really getting that fight going is to acknowledge the coach. Don't say anything; look him/her in the eye and shake your head yes; and run on by.

Anything else, anything smartasslike, is only going to exacerbate the issue. Don't be the second man into the fight.

Don't let this be an issue of your integrity/credibility. You, personally determine those qualities about yourself and it is only when you respond to the coach's goad that you endanger your integrity or credibility. Don't engage and you will maintain your integrity.

If the coach really wants to hound you about something then you must engage. Non-emotional; you stepped over the line and the penalty is T-bone. I can't imagine that occurring for questioning the foul count. It would have to be quite severe for that topic.

Stupid is as stupid does... and sometimes we're stupid... we engage. Done it myself. Two seconds of ignoring and running away would have solved the problem ... for the remainder of the game. Hold-on. Concentrate on the play and keep going.

just my quarter. Tony
