I need to mention this again because it's been said, but glossed over too. You can't please coaches and you shouldn't try. Opening weekend, I issued a well earned T to one of the best players in the area. The T resulted from her complaining about my foul call that happed to be her fourth PF......Buh-bye!

I didn't handle the coach well and kind of baited him, but he is an excellent coach; recognized I was a little hot and let it go.

Fast forward to Tuesday Night. I'm in the stands to watch my darling daughter in her first start since dislocating her shoulder. Guess who comes in and sits one row in front of me? Yep, it's Coach Tony and his assistants, there. To scout DD's team. He didn't see me right away, bit I mentioned who he was to my wife and her eyes got pretty big. THAT reaction alone was worth the price of admission!

When he saw me, I could see the recognition flash in front of his eyes (I don't think he's a very good poker player). But, he was cordial and we even had a laugh after DD fouled out on a controversial call (to her-no sympathy from Dad) and at the end when good guys won in 2OT. Lesson there is that you can't please em at the time and IT DOESN'T MATTER.
