game changing calls

[rainmaker]

Think of it this way. Often, a T on the coach is doing him a favor. He settles down, coaches, and the kids settle down and play better. I've seen many games where a T on the coach was handing him the game. If you see it coming down to a close game, and the coach is harping, whack him as soon as it's reasonable. Then you have gotten yourself out of the endgame problem, and you've given him a fair chance to pull it out. If he loses from the T, it's his own problem; the parents should be dealing with his attitude.
