If it's during the coach meet-and-greet (as I'm suspecting), please do.

In the pregame man! Right before, "Let us know on all fulls & 30s" & after "We're gonna work hard for you tonight."

Snaq -- add this.

I had a partner who said this to both coaches a few weeks ago. If I was a coach, I'd probably say something like, "I'd hope so - that's why you're here, aren't you?"

Thats the same as a man saying, "I take care of my kids!"
I would sure hope so... thats what you're SUPPOSED to do.

Sometimes, stuff just slips out. A number of years ago, a buddy & I went up to the Montreal Forum to see the Habs. We had a mid-level seat. In all the years of going to games there, I had never seen ice level. There was a curtain with an usher at the first level. I explained what we'd like to do and he politely declined. I demurred saying that some people probably just stay there. I added, "But we're not like those other guys." Didn't accomplish anything but to give my buddy ammo for the next 100 years.

Pre-game, with a grin and positive energy. "Question anything you like, as long as you're civil about it. Let's have some fun!"

It works. In six years, I've only had to T up a coach once.

So you're one of those who thinks fewer technicals is a reflection of your ability? Or that this one phrase (said with a smile) made a difference?

A T for "damn-it" which could have well been directed at his player or just simply venting frustration with regards to a miss shot- No T.

now on the other hand " God damn it" might be deemed highly offensive to some.

So? I know a mother who goes nuts if their kids say "crap." Should we whack a kid for that?

I don't work worrying about what might be offensive to "some."

Nor do I. Nothing offends me- hell I just went and saw Lisa Lampanelli Saturday night.

I was just sayin' you'll find someone who won't tolerate the lords name be taken in vain.

She's funny on the Comedy Central roasts -- although it's funnier when she's the butt of the humor.

Cool, but Id like to think your skill set & communication during the game has lead to only 1 T... not the one liners prior to the toss. IJS

If he's only called 1 in six years, I'm guessing it's more likely it's because he's probably passed on a few he *should've* called. Or he only works 10 games a season.
