1) I am at work...typing when I get a chance. 2) I wanted to hear from Adam and Camron before I "spit it out". 3) I wanted to tease you...be cryptic...or something like that.  After the game...I was getting my coat...getting the "nice job" stuff from the table and other coach...when Coach A started in on me... "I hope you sleep well tonight...I can't believe it...calling travel on a Down's Syndrome kid...I hope you sleep well..." He kept repeating that line about half a dozen times. One of my partners came up and said, "let's just walk away"...but, I wouldn't...I felt bad and for some reason I was going to get this resolved. I calmly told the coach that I misunderstood what he wanted. I thought that he DIDN'T WANT THE BOY TO WALK ALL OVER THE PLACE. I calmly apologized, told him I was sorry...told him again, that I misunderstood. He ended up shaking my hand, accepted my apology, and that was it. I felt I was in a NO WIN SITUATION. If you knew me...you would know that I don't usually take ANY garbage from a M.S. coach...I even surprised myself...but, it didn't hurt me to eat some crow...and in a way, I agree with the coach. (As long as the other coach is on board) Thus, our new procedure. Get both Coaches to agree on what they want in these SPECIAL situations.
