Message: [QUOTE="Zinethar, post: 3115107, member: 8436"] I am glad I am now retired. It is almost impossible to do anything today without offending someone. Coaching women is different than coaching me. I always treated both the same as I always said I coached athletes not genders. Women want to be coached just like men do. They tend in general to show emotion more than men but that is likely more cultural. Have I yelled at a team member. Yes. I tried to never do it during a contest as it would likely take their head out of the game. I would publicly discipline when a public response was required. As I got more experienced I made a rule that I would not address the team after a contest until I had MY act together. BUT I will never judge another coach in public as I don't walk in their shoes.
