Comments from Coaches while reporting foul

[JoeD1]

From reading your post, it sounds to me like you're probably way too quick. As I said on another thread, I've found that if you COMPLETELY ignore most comments (unless they are personal, derogatory, or excessive), usually things seem to settle down.

It seems to me that once you start acknowledging the comments or letting people see that the comments are getting to you, that's when the major problems start.

I believe that ignoring coaches is an art form. I normally hear what they say, but in no way whatsoever flinch or otherwise acknowledge their existence. Now, if a coach has a "legitimate" question, of course I will take the time to explain the call in a calm, polite manner.


By the way, I've had a rough stretch of games myself. In the past 6 games, I've called 6 T's. It's really no fun!
