On Being Hernandez

Funny thing about being a head coach - one has to do things you really do not want to. Well, this head coach has to do one thing I really hate = heckle the ref's. In my years of coaching soccer, the head coaches have had a stream of critism aimed @ the ref's. It wasn't offside, that was off, thrie players are too playing too dirty, etc etc etc.... It's something EVERY coach has done, so of course I follow. One must work to get the calls, the theory goes.

In the past I just let the head coach do it. The players are also not supoposed to yell @ the ref - that is the head coach's job. So, I have a season of objectionably having to yell @ the ref. Great.

On Monday I caught myself doing it again and again. Funny world I find myself in.
