What would you have done?

I wasn't holding the previous game against him, I just brought it up to him to jog his memory. I did also warn him in the sec game prior to whacking him.

Hind sight is always 20/20 I should have just whacked him the first time with no warning.

Not sure about that. A warning is not necessarily a bad thing here. Of course, since it was 8th grade ball, I'm not against going straight to T-time.

My point isn't that you didn't warn him
I think you handled it right - Warn and Whack - the coach has no right to complain after that ... not that they won't
leave what ever happened in the first game in the first game once the next game started.

I see no reason to forget what happened previously. If you know a team has a tendency to steal the tip, for example, nothing wrong with thinking to look for it.

it isn't forgetting what happened - it is discussing what happened.
if you bring up anything from the previous game (especially if it is first game of double header) you open the door to other things, things you did or did not do in that game. I am all for remembering the things that happened in previous games - tendencies of teams - coaches - etc. It gives you a handle on the possibilities that lay ahead.

But other than letting my partners know the things I know - I am not going to discuss them with the coach or players. A T or a funky call could be misinterpreted - thought to be premeditated, etc.

that is all I am getting at.
