When did this happen?

Rtu -- I have to say that I am in 100% agreement with you.

Sportsmanship at all levels is a travesty. You are right on target about (some) high school athletes that are simply punks -- no two ways about it.

As I'm sure you and others do, I show respect to players when they show respect to me. If they respectfully ask a question, they get a respectful response. If they act like an idiot, they receive the appropriate penalty.

Ever get pulled over for a traffic violation? It's a helluva lot easier to get out of the ticket by showing a little respect versus having a chip on your shoulder.

You might be surprised how often a "Yes sir", "No sir", and "You are correct sir" can get you out of a ticket.

It also works elsewhere.
