survived 16 games between fri/sat. 6th-8th grade and everything was pretty much smooth like butter. Ony a couple of highlights.

2nd game on fri, coach starts chirpin and I let him know if it's gotta be like this then it will be a very loooong game. Next trip down I told him that I retract my comments, if he keeps it up, it'll be a short game for him. he apologized and proceeded to get beat by 20.

last game on sat, i was lead in transition but i was up to help with press, coach is right next to me and asks; i bet you are really tired?? i said, sort of but not to bad, why? he says; because you've had to carry that guy (partner) for 2 days. i laughed so hard i almost cried.

Your first situation could be considered baiting and could get ugly. At the most, on a good day, I would ask the coach to knock it off (not in those words), ignore comments, answer legit questions and handle whatever needs to be handled.

Your second situation: laughing at the joke = selling your partner out. We have all had and will have bad days but it really isn't cute. Most of my bad days like these have came during non-camp games in the summer.
