Coach Issues

[rockyroad]

I'm confused as to why people keep referring to the Op'er as "escalating" the situation. He handled bench personnel who were yelling at him, and then there is nothing else said about any more problems with that bench. Seems to me that he got the point across and the bench stopped yelling. The next time the situation was brought up was when the idiot coach confronted the official in the hallway outside the locker room. How-in-the-hell can you people blame the official for the coach being an a$$???

And before anyone asks, yes I would (and have) dealt with the Varsity coach sitting on the bench during a sub-varsity game and yelling at me or my crew - and I've dealt with them in much the same way as the OP did...to sit and say "Well it must have been his tone of voice or body language that caused that coach to confront him in the hallway later" is absoulutely idiotic. Or pusillanimous maybe...

And the OP didn't whack, either. pretty non-inflammatory if you ask me. This was a jerk coach, pure and simple.
