Coaches Dealing with Parents

[jTheUmp]

Actually, this one of the main reasons I got into officiating instead of coaching when my playing days were over. I gave serious though to both, because I wanted to stay part of the game. I decided to try officiating first, on the basis of "if there's an obnoxious parent at a game, after an hour or two, I won't have to see them again if I'm an official. As a coach, I'm stuck with them all season".

I figured I could give coaching a go if I didn't enjoy officiating.

Now, I don't think I'll ever coach.
