I roll out of the rack, hit my knees & ask the Lord to give me the strength to deal with the Phil Jackson wanna-bes.
If I have to run any of these idiots & they should follow me to my car, Lord please let me get to my glovebox before they get to me.

Amen!

Then, I listen to my resolution conflict & effective communication CDs over breakfast.

You'll actually see that Phil Jackson is relatively calm during a game...he didn't receive a T this year. He does most of his "work" before/after the game.

Now Rick Carlisle (Dallas Mavericks) got wrong up 10 times this year along with Stan Van Gundy (Orlando Magic) 9 times.

Although a bit dramatic, I appreciate the detail.

If that's what I needed to do prior to working an AAU tournament, I might reconsider.

I forgot the

Yeah, its not that serious! But being prepared for what may possibly occur (which is more likely in a AAU setting than in HS) is not a bad thing.

Just worked 6 AAU games this weekend (2 each day F/S/S)....

I had a team from Seattle that goes by the name of GameTime on two different occasions...they won once and lost once, both close games with the loss in the 3rd place game. The coach and the players were a shining example of what sportsmanship should be.

Except for one, all of the teams I had were actually quite good but this one stood out above the rest.

Had 5 games yesterday. USSSA, but to me they are all AAU. The assignor indicated that there was one coach ejection in 163 games. A report goes to national for those. I issued one coach T. Had to go talk to him afterward because he kept standing up. He listened and sat down and stayed that way. Most of the coaches were able to ask questions of plays without being knuckleheads and they got explanations of plays and rulings as a result. All teams were 5th/6th grade boys and we didn't have an issue with most of them either.

The guy that got tossed? His team lost by 30. So, obviously he didn't have must talent coaching, either.
