Or the Madlax guy trying to work the refs in a game (especially when his kids are playing).

Working the ref is a art form. Baseball coaches have been doing it for a 100 years. I love how people in lacrosse act like it should not be done or that it does not work.


It is stupid.. This is youth sports.. No need for working refs. Great idea.. teaching kids to cheat. Sheese

Well baseball has been teaching kids to cheat for 100 years. And its called gamesmanship. We want to teach kids to win and be winners. They keep score,stats, and give prizes. But then you want the coach to act like it does not matter. Working a ref teaches them to not just except what they are given if it is wrong. So if you use this logic. You better never return your food when its wrong. You better except a crooked deck when you pay for one to be built. A coach is working for his team and his job is not to just sit there and take it. He is the advocate for the team.

This is just crazy.. and very sad

I am not saying the the Madlax owner handles himself correctly at all times. I was talking about the art of working a Ref. I 100% feel its part of the head coaches job to do this. There are more then one way to get this done. But all great coaches do it. And if the other teams coach is doing it you have to do it also or your team will feel the pain if you do not do your part as a head coach. If done correctly the head coach is the source of all information to the Ref. And if done correctly the kids/players do Zero talking to the refs. And if done correctly the 3 slash to the head of your player is called with 1 min left in the game and you gain the advantage. So please tell me how this process is stupid? Yes I agree you should be calling the ref names or blind in a U11 game. But mistakes need to and should be pointed out at all levels to the refs. Maybe a real Ref can chime in on this topic.
