First varsity game..

[Ref_ Fred]

Whining is acceptable?

Maybe to you, not to me. I ain't gonna let a coach whine for very long.

Absolutely, let him whine all he wants. I'll even give him cheese with that whine. As long as they are respectable let him whine. I'll continue to do my job to the best of my ability. You sound like the hitler of basketball officials. I bet you like hearing your whistle becuase it gives you satisfaction. Keep the game flowing, he will realize that whinning is not going to help him coach his team. If he gets out of control ..... Whackkkkkkkk, I've been doing this long enough and have respect of the coaches, administration,and officials. They know my tolerance and how much they will get away with. this comes with time and experience.
