Parents & Fans, Season Your Temper During Basketball Games, Don't Be An Embarrassment!

To all  high school parents & fans:

In the next couple of weeks your favorite teams and player (s) will play lots of basketball during high school tournaments. And throughout the course of each game, things are not going to always go the way that you would like for them too. And as you already know, it's very easy to get emotionally involved in the play of your child, other peoples children as well as the play of the team.

May I offer a little advice?

Whatsoever you personally decide to do during the course of your frustration while watching a game, remember that your actions, be it good or bad, will be highly scrutinized by your peer group, administrators, other high school coaches, college coaches, your kids peer group and the public.

And also remember that as you walk up to others during or after games, that it's not a healthy idea to bash the team, the coaches and other players who you're not happy with behind their backs simply because your view of how things are going don't line up with reality. Not everyone on the face of earth agrees with you.

"As for me, if you see me at a game and we speak, keep it positive and I'll listen, go negative and watch me go the other way."

That's my 2 cents for today.

Good Luck!
