Remember, Scrapper, it's best if you usually treat a coach like you'd treat a 4 year old. It's fatal to tell a 4 year old, "You need to be in bed in 1 minute" unless you really have a stop watch going. You must be exactly precise, while at the same time keeping a neutral emotional tone -- no sarcasm. Then he's got no room to argue about anything, and if he does argue, you know it's his problem not yours.
