coaches "working" officials

Don't bring it up pre-game, just when its necessary, say, at a time out. On the other hand, don't try to brown nose either. A comment like "I'm behaving myself" with nothing more insinuates that you expect to be rewarded for that. You have to make darn sure you don't appear to be whining, as that will get you a tune out quicker than just about anything.

Now THIS is something I can work on. Thanks Texas!
