Nasty coach

[Rita C]

He yells at the girls "That was lousy!" He throws his clipboard in disgust when there is a turnover. He yells, "I've told you a hundred times" and other such unhelpful meaningless tripe.

These are eighth grade girls. Girls I know from Little League softball. Girls I know who work 110%, especially when they get positively expressed constructive criticism. They deserve better treatment and would do better if they had a coach that would at least explain what they did incorrectly.

And there's nothing I can do because I'm the ref. Plus I really dislike this guy as coach.

Could I at least T him for throwing the clipboard? Sigh, fortunately I'm not assigned anymore of his games for middle school. Maybe I'll ask not to be assigned any of his games for high school as well.

I know the AD for the school. I'm tempted to suggest a coaching clinic for him? Or at least that she listen to him coach a game?
