I agree, I start my pre game at that level (excluding championship play) that "we are here to teach the girls and to have fun" sportsman ship! sportsman ship!! Now this I know may not be viewed upon as the correct by the book thing to do.. But as stated before all the coaches at that level of play in our league know me and my stand on sportsmanship....etc.. Some can argue that is wrong, and I respect thier opinion. I just think there are times we have to employ game management skills at the lower levels, that just are not spoke of at clinics etc...etc... Others thoughts greatly Valued.
