And if they do, Who cares!!! I will be around or have been around longer than they will. I have even told coaches "I will stop talking to you until you have something more repectful to say."

We worry way too much about what coaches think. And I say that with coaches and a ratings system they are involved in my state.

This is very close to my belief and I too come from a rating system that until this year was 100% coaches' rating. This year it is 50%.

I prefer to say, I think we worry too much about trying to manipulate an amicable solution to every situation a coach throws at us. Call a good game, be respectful. The rest will work itself out.

We will never win in a confrontation with a Coach. It doesn't matter how far across the line he/she goes - what the tape will show is our bad behavior back.

Friend of mine put it this way to me a few years ago - "Never get into a pissing match with a Coach. They will always be bigger pissers than we are."
