In a couple of different threads over the last week, I've seen comments like, "If this had been a HS game, it would definitely have earned a T. But since it was middle school, I talked to him".

Maybe I'm out of touch, but I give T's MUCH more quickly in sub HS games than I do in my high school games. Forgive the rant, but I've worked way too hard and long to take stupid comments from a middle school coach who has no idea what he's talking about.

High school games generally (though not always) carry more significance to the participants, so I'm less willing to insert myself into the game. But at the middle school level, where the only point is to teach the game and have fun (at least around here), I'm going to shut down a coach quickly if he's out of line.

Bang these guys early and often, and maybe some of them will get the hint that we're people and not punching bags. They're there to coach their teams, period.

Just my opinion.

Chuck
