"My goodness" was wrt to the verbosity of several of those conversations with the coach. We don't generally have time for a conversation.

None of the statements are long or wordy.

My fellow Hoosier, I also think that is a lot to say or even remember. It is always iffy when people suggest what someone else should say to a coach. The best thing to do it communicate using the (brief) language that comes naturally. I have an early season evaluation that proves some coaches will receive whatever you say how they want to anyway. Why bother with a lot of extra?

Oh. OK. I guess I'm the only one that thought so.

I thought they were a bit long. Anything longer than six or seven words, for me, needs to be reserved for a conversation that fits into a coach's timeout.
