I don't get it

I've had a coach earn a T that did fire up his team. Maybe he was willing to try this tactic and accept the possibility that this method would fail.

Or maybe something else entirely.

Like my friend Paul says, "a million chinese won't give a **** tomorrow."

I've done this when I was a GV coach. Sometimes I've done it to "fire up" the team. Other times - say in a blowout - it was to let them know I was still really behind them. I tried not to make it look bad - jumping up and down screaming - but I would keep at it until I got it if I wanted it. I had one game where I was adamant about my point. the official looked at me and asked it I wanted a T. I said yes. He got a funny look, then smiled and quietly whacked me.

I got what I wanted and neither of us raised our voice or did something to look stupid.

No, they're still uncommitted.

What are they waiting for? A public display of compassion augmented by tears and a cracking voice?

And a display of strong principles.

No, a poll. Maybe we should have one.

If people from Poland are Poles, what do you call people from Holland?

Shouldn't that be a BILLION Chinese?

You realize, don't you, that if you're "one in a million," then there are 1,200 people in China JUST LIKE YOU.
