"This is my livelihood..."

[Multiple Sports]

1 st post so be nice.

Have heard from a retired well respected D - 1 official on the east coast that we need to consider something along these lines. For example, if a guy is getting his tail kicked by 30 at home we need to be understanding. He might be 4 and 21 in February.
He could be in the last year of his contract and doesn't see eye to eye with his A.D. And don't forget his assistants. One of those guys might be a head coach one day and he might help you get in a league.

Not saying that I agree, but sometimes if we use some people skills it may go a long way with developing a relationship.

Now as far as a hs coach - no way would I take that b.s.

Great no longer a virgin !!!!!!

AFAIC, "this is my livelihood" has nothing to do with how much crap I'm going to take. They're using it to try to manipulate calls. If a coach is 4-21 in February, and on his way out, why should I take more crap than I would from a coach who is 21-4? They're both adults who are capable of acting like adults.
