So. . . how did YOUR night go?

Just my 2 cents.

Coach= "What did he say?"
Me= "Ask him."

I usually don't shut down communication with coaches like this unless they've already burned the bridge. I think it's important to have the adults on the same page as long as they're acting like adults.

Yup.

In my experience, the great majority of coaches honestly don't want crap like this coming from their players and will do something internally about it...if they know about it.

If you do run into a coach that wants to wiseazz back at you after you (quickly) explained the "T", just deal with it.

Neither do I. But earlier in his post he mentioned that the coach was livid earlier in the game from an offensive foul that was called.
