Coach Citing the Foul Counts

I didn't know it was that big of a deal. I'm sure they would rather me say that instead of "Look you whiney b&%ch I know what the count is, I called them."

BTW, did you have something to contribute to the OP or is nit-picking your MO?

I was contributing by suggesting that 'cognizant' was a poor choice of words.

Sorry if I hurt your feelings.

Nah you're good, it takes a lot more than a beating around the BUSH-type critique from a BEAVERton resident to hurt my feelings.

I'm just used to dealing with adults who say what they mean & mean what they say...

Took all of those posts to say it was a poor choice of words
Reminds me of how my child attempts to set-up something through a series of questions.

I doubt that I will change what works for me because of your opinion but I appreciate your efforts.

Last Tue, BV coach stood up waved his arms, "where's the foul"? Coming up court as trail table side, I say "coach please put your arms down, stop gesticulating" he looks at me all confused "ges-what"? I smile at him and say "we would appreciate better sportsmanship" coach. Rest of game he did not say anything regarding calls.
