How many of them would if he never said a peep?

And how many more of them would if he approached it in a less confrontational manner?

Less

So you're saying people are more receptive to criticism when they are being put on the defensive than when they are not?

Interesting.

I think he's saying they're more likely to pay attention when they're forced to.

I'm saying they're much more apt to check their facts (in this case, the rule book) if someone else is adamant they are wrong, rather than being milquetoast about it. I'm sorry, but a weak-livered, "well, I don't know about that" probably won't engage any extra rule study.

Helps if the coach hasn't *****ed all night over stoopid stuff too.

Appears from the OP, that there was a non-stop barrage. Whether right or wrong, nobody listens to a jerk.

Apparently in the OP, they did listen to the jerk. According to him, the girls stayed just behind the 3-point line on the technical shots. Without penalty.

OFC1 didn't listen. Not to the jerk. OFC3 was just as stoneless for letting his partner get run over time after time. And he is getting a penalty. Everyone but you on this board thinks he is a jerk.
