Not agreeing with an earlier thread, but I believe that Coltdoggs was referring to a thread a few days ago about asking a player to repeat a mumbled comment.

Yes, he was. I don't have a problem with that procedure either, Billy. I do have a problem with it though if you ask twice even though the player didn't respond after the first time.

When the kid didn't respond to your first query, you achieved your goal imo. Let it go.

I've had this question for some time. What is a "competitive 6th grade" game? Or 7th or 8th?

One where the coaches/parents really, really care passionately, understanding this particular game is THE ONE which determines which D1 school their players/child will eventually be accepted to!

Hey, all the rec league kids are going to the "League" if you ask the moms and dads....(usually it's just the moms there)

While not your intent - you did a pretty good job of baiting him into that T. If he mumbled something and you didn't understand - and you asked him to repeat it and he told you he said you were an f'ing jerk - would you have let it pass? Kid mumbled something, realized his mistake, kept quiet while you pushed and he told you to back off. I think he was in his rights as you were forcing an issue. He learned - let it go. At least he didn't say get the flock out of my face!

I've had one...several years ago. It decided the City Championship. Both schools had a record of 15-1. This was the third time they played each other...split the first two. They were both VERY good for JH (8th grade) teams. The gym held about 300 people and it was packed. The game was won on a last second shot in OT.

It could also be a 6th grade game between two teams who, on any given night, beat the socks off the varsity team I call on Friday...and that would be almost any 6th grade boys team. Man, that was a pathetic team with absolutely no height...got beat 87-4...and the game was not nearly as close as the score indicates.

You have to work a lot of them to actually know.
