He didn't like my call, and so he asked me about it. Why is this so hard to understand? |

Clarification is part of communication. Maybe you need to work on reading comprehension before you criticize my communication skills. I had already stated that the coach asked a question before your diatribe. |

What post was it where you said he asked a question? |

My initial post today on this thread was about just that. Taking advice I had gotten on here and applying it, and how it didn't do much good, but I'm not going to quit. But, by all means, keep painting me with that broad brush you seem to value so much. |

Yes, I am a big boy. Here are some of your highlights from this thread.

Well, if he asked you a question and you was right in front of his bench, you shouldn't have needed to go anywhere to answer his question - remember this play happened as time was expiring. But in another post you say you could tell he wasn't happy with your call, which was actually a no-call, so you go to talk to him. Where is the question in that? Can you tell us what really happened. If we belonged to the same association and you explained this situation to me followed by telling me an evaluator said you did something on the varsity level question marks would pop up. |

I'm telling ya, my biggest strides came when I realized that pleasing the coaches is near the bottom of my list of priorities.
I try to ignore comments, although I'm human and once in a while say something and then realize that the adage about pigs and mud is completely true. Coach is the pig and engaging him without a legitimate question is the mud. Last night I couldn't help it, though. We had some fast, sloppy play and of course we're 2-person since the school couldn't find another $57.50 for us to have a third (and I don't think working boys varsity for $39 is an answer to that situation) and I call a foul at one end where the kid almost has his arm removed and then nothing on the other where a player is blocked cleanly. My next trip, I'm in the home coach's lap and he says, "I don't know how you can call a foul here and not call one there. He was all over him. How can you miss that?" And I responded with, "It was a clean block, but I can understand you not seeing that so far away." Then the ball went the other way and I was out of there and we never revisited that the rest of the night. One day I'll put velcro on my lips. |

I will say this, if all of this happened in the areas where I have worked and currently work, you wouldn't be nearly ready for a varsity assignment. |

It's called a rhetorical question. Stop defending the coach. |
