Proper to laugh at a coach

I have laughed when I thought they were joking.

Look, we are human. We laugh as stuff that happens and is said or should from time to time. You never "want" to humiliate people, but if they say something that is ridiculous, a laugh might show it is. I have told coaches what they want is silly or out of line when it clearly is. Especially if they claim I have some bias based on some ridiculous claim or suggestion. Even though this situation did not happen in a basketball game, I had a coach try to ask me and my crew to be "fair" and he was directing his call about me. When I told him in no uncertain terms..."Coach, I literally live right down the street from this school" he shut up immediately. In this case I did not laugh, but he knew I was not playing around with him and my tone and I showed I was a little offended if you think for a second I am against you based on some silly paranoid feeling.

Peace
