Coach Romeo is very lucky that you didn't go to Howard.You had every right to,if you were so inclined.The guy approached you after a game;he was out of line.If it's still bothering you,I'd report it to Howard,or whoever handles complaints in your association.

Now comes the tough part.If you get this goof again,you have to act like nothing happened before-i.e."clean slate" time.He gets treated like every other coach-until or unless he steps out of line again,of course.Then,you nail his a$$.

PS-I think that you did handle it in a very professional manner.

Posting here is like telling Howard, since he reads this board. The only thing I haven't said is which school, but there are only two choices. If he cares, he'll call and ask. I won't have any trouble with the clean slate part. I won't have this school again this year, and this guy could easily be gone next year. Of more concern, as my husband pointed out, is how he treats his players (girls) and their mothers. YIKES!!

I asked him if he thought we called a good game...he said "yeah, but your partner didn't show me any respect when he told me to SIT DOWN". [/QUOTE]

Dude
BTW, what's your thoughts on a Coach standing for the entire game per 1-13? [/B][/QUOTE]


It's fine if coach (must be head coach) wants to stand the entire game. Must comply with coaching box guidelines however.
Is this new in your state this year? We've used it in Michigan for several years now.

Also about the "after-game" confrontation: I learned the hard way many years ago, to not engage or ask questions of coaches after games.(especially if something came up during game, that made them cranky) When they ask if they can ask a question, I reply something like "Sorry coach, but I really can't comment on game sitch's right now. Hope you understand" and keep on going. Remember, silence is never misunderstood, or taken out of context. JMHO

Wise beyond her years, I'm sure.
