Is this a carry?

And what's funny is that the coach will come to me before the game and say "well, I don't know the rules like you do, but I'll try my best". Then I'll get that coach in the next game and he'll be yelling all over the place as if he did know the rules better than I did. I hate ref'ing that rec league, but I do it anyways, because it's for the kids, not for me, the coaches, etc.

It looks like it might be time to start serving some T.

Eh, I go by the philosophy that this is for the kids. I tell the coaches to calm down, and if I have any problems with any parents I just get the rec staff member to take care of it. If coaches are still pretty bad, then I use the technical, but only as a last resort.

When working with little kids, I'm less inclined to put up with much at all from the coaches. I have found the games go more smoothly pretty quickly. Future games are even better. That's just me, though. It turns horrible coaches into silent coaches.
