game management

[williebfree]

"I don't have a clue how to coach my players and I need to find a scapegoat."

My attitude about statements like “call it both ways” is..."When a coach is chipping at the officials s/he has given up on their players' ability to win. S/he has given them an excuse to accept losing before the game has ended."

If it is incessant whining about a call, I am more direct. (Universal "stop sign"), "Coach, I have heard enough. Focus on your players." Then you have to “T” the coach if they chirp any more.
