Dear Matratter,
In closing your initial post that started this wonderful topic, you stated:

”The more I think about it the more I think I am going to contact the club and let them know how embarrassing they were today. Get a life people its for kids to compete, learn values and have fun and being a coach for over 21 years, I can tell you from many experiences you are only hurting your son.”

I wish you would have thought about it more, and contacted us directly, instead of a knee jerk post with veiled innuendos. As Sherri Young stated, and to my understanding the Oklahoma coach had been thrown out at least once that day, possibly twice. I hope we all try to do best by our kids and be good examples for them, but in the case of that match when Travis Young had just lost a heart breaker, and gets taunted, cursed at and given the finger by the opposing coach. I haven’t meet a person who can righteously pass judgment on a loving protecting mothers response to a coach that shouldn’t have been mat side let alone inside the building. Sometimes what appears to be one thing is another, for example your comment on our pushing that coach in the back, that was his own people trying to get him out of there.
