Seven out of eight isn't too bad

[Mark Padgett]

Had four middle school tournament games today. Seven of the coaches were pretty good. They didn't complain hardly at all and asked decent questions politely. However, one guy needed a lesson in how to be a human being. It was a girls coach. This team feeds into one of the top girls HS programs in the country. I'm sure everyone from the Portland area is familiar with this program and knows the HS to which I'm referring.

It wasn't so much that he was a pain to us, (just the usual jerk coach) but he yelled and screamed at his girls the entire game. And I don't mean in a positive manner. In fact, I can't remember even a single positive word spoken by him to any of his players in the entire game even though they played really well and won by over 20. On two different occasions, two different girls were actually crying after this guy finished yelling at them. It was pathetic. My partner spent most of the game just shaking his head. If I was a parent of one of these girls, that guy wouldn't have made it out of the parking lot without needing medical attention. What's wrong with these cretins?
