Talking or not to the coach during a game

I'd avoid stopping the game,it points the spotlight on the situation.

Be calm,under control and precise when you talk to the coach.

Ed Rush talked about this at a camp I went to,he put this on the blackboard:

P P parent

A A adult

C C child

The first row is the offical,the second is a player or coach.In an ideal situation all communication ia A to A,when the player/coach takes it to C,we must take on a parental role.

Since I don't have any kids, I don't qualify as a P. I guess I'll just have to go with T.
