Did I understand why a mistake was made? Of course, been there, done that. Did I think that my debate with the officials would somehow help us win the game ? No. Did I think that my debate with an official would somehow make him a better official by the end of our game? No.
The one, and only, reason was to show my players, and their parents, that I was going to stick up for them. Was I proud of myself? No. Would I do it again if I started coaching again? Probably.
Keep in mind that over the last twenty-five years that I coached I was only charged with one technical foul, for politely questioning a call when I was out of the coaching box. I was way down in the corner politely questioning a call, so I deserved it.
