In the classroom, the coach would never openly question the authority of the person running the school, either. They do that *all the time* during a basketball game.

It may be an extension of the classroom, but the rules (especially the unwritten ones) are not the same.

I don't know that I agree the rules are substantially different. A coach is expected to be a role model of good sportsmanship and citizenship. Sure they don't always live up to it, but neither do teachers in the class room. The failure to meet the goals doesn't mean the goals aren't there.

Also, you've not been in a lot of the classrooms I've been in .
