Talking to coaches... Part II

[bigwhistle]

bard,

While you may have good intentions (wanting to congratulate the winners and tell the losers good effort), your sentiments will not always be appreciated by those involved in the game. Many times the participants are not able to "turn off" the emotional switch as soon as the game ends.

By you sticking around and making yourself accessable to players, coaches, and fans you are taking a chance to put yourself in a very uncomfortable and unfortunately, dangerous situation.

Get away from the court as soon as the game is over. If you want to talk to the participants after the game, find a time when everyone has recovered their "sanity" to do so.
