Cards aplenty

[chapmaja]

My take,

If this is only loud enough for the coach and I to hear, I'm pulling yellow. If it is loud enough to be heard by other's, then it is a red card. If it is screamed so loud the entire gym can hear, then it's red and yellow and a seat on the bus.


The only time I've heard a coach drop and F-bomb during a match was two seasons ago. Prior to the final set of a match at a Saturday tourney. After spending the first two sets correcting the coaches positions from what he told them in the huddle, I wasn't in the mood for a third time.

Third set, he tells the players where to go, and they are wrong. He is standing next to the sideline checking the lineup and moving his players to the proper positions, and I hear "what the f-" It was just loud enough for me to hear it, so I only pulled yellow. After the match my partner asks why I gave him the yellow. I explain and he says I should have pulled red on him.

I personally like my manner best. I certainly won't DQ for a f-bomb unless it is so loud as to be heard gym wide.
