Coach Management

[SMEngmann]

As a follow to my original post, I spoke to my partner from Friday about how we handled that game in light of how the game went yesterday and determined that there was nothing really in our game that we could have done differently from a game management point of view. We controlled the coach by communicating with him ("I'll give it a look coach," "I hear you coach," etc)and basically letting him know where the line was. The officials in the other game ignored the behavior of the coach and it got worse. In my opinion, coaches have to be addressed in some form, or their behavior will simply get progressively worse.
