If you don't know who said it how do you know it came from the bench? Could have been a fan.

Me? I'm having a short, one-sided conversation with coach warning him/her to control the bench.

Agreed. I've made my mistake on that one and don't care to repeat it!

Because there are no bleachers on that side of the gym. It certainly came from someone on the bench and not from a fan. Now what?

Only gyms I work in like that are rec leagues. And in that case I would get a technical for my response.

Most of the gyms where I work girls varsity open the bleachers only on one side because of the low attendance.

I'm with Bad News on this one. Tell the coach to get his/her bench under control before whacking someone.

I've been told by several coaches that they prefer this setup because then the parents can't hear what they're saying to the players. What's the big secret?

No the coaches like it because they can't hear the parents!
