I let him get to me

[Smitty]

Got a reply to my email from the evaluator/varsity ref. Although he agreed that the comments the coach made were disparaging and I would have been justified in having him tossed from the gym, he wouldn't recommend it. He recommended instead to ignore it and bring it to the attention of our commissioner and possibly the state. He also said that during the varsity game the coach was, in his words, "a pussycat". He mentioned that over the years he's earned the coach's respect, so I guess I have a few years to go, eh? It's done and I think I'll get it right the next time. I hope there's not a next time...
