Something's in the water

It's possible I could've avoided Thursday's technical had I not talked to the coach, although with the escalating volume of his little rant, it was pretty hard to not do anything. I tried being civil and tried answering his questions, but he just wanted (I found out) to tell me how horrible I am. I could've just let him do that without trying to talk him off the ledge. The result would've been the same.

Oh, well. I see that it's not just me, but I can't remember it being this bad in previous years. Maybe I have selective memory.

I'm still amused that these coaches get to rate us and that some people think this rating counts for something. I'd love to rate some of these coaches.
