And now you have to deal with that, one way or another.

If you really think that any coach is ever gonna admit that he didn't see a play he was whining about ("not really"), it's time to give up those pre-game funny cigarettes.
My point a few messages up is that if the coach doesn't ask a question, why even bother responding? The official knows the coach is 60 feet away, the coach knows he's 60 feet away. I'd rather just let it go -- if he repeats it a second or third time, then a quick, "You know, I had a pretty good look all the way down there" and then get the hell out of Dodge.

And you are wise beyond your years imo. A simple nod of the head sometimes just to indicate to the coach that you heard him might suffice on some occasions also. And once you get away from the coach, if he wants to give you instant replay when you get near him next, hey, then that's on him.

We can get ourselves into trouble sometimes with our over-active mouths.
