| For those who think they are God's gift as a coach, those who think screaming at kids makes them a good coach, and those who think a vulgar mouth and throwing out obscenities in the presence of kids is OK, You need to read your By-Laws.
I have already received too many complaints about coaches who are out of control. Already this year, we have had 2 coaches ejected from games and suspended. Get yourselves under control people or step down from the position. The kids don't need you and the Edison League doesn't want you if you have to be an idiot. Step down and save us the hassle of suspending you.
Read and follow:
