Actually, Juulie, in the five years I've done the summer league that's coming up, I've only come close to tossing a coach once. He was a volunteer Dad who is a very popular newspaper columnist here in Portland. At the time, he wrote a sports column. Like some others, he thought he should be calling the game from his bench. I told him at least three times that we would call the game (I was doing the game with my son) and finally gave him a T. He started chipping again and I put up the stop sign. Finally, my son asked him how he would feel if he got thrown out and it made the paper. He shut up after that.

As for the Battleground coach, everyone starts each new game with a clean slate as far as I'm concerned. Coaches get a fresh chance to piss me off all over again each game.

Jewel,
After reading Padgett for a year and a half, I be feelin' bad for the coach. He better grow up or get a seatbelt.

Yes, I'm sure you can pull this off. I admire the discipline you bring to this hobby. I hope I can learn a little of it someday.
