Sometimes your coach is going to do something you don’t agree with. Maybe he’ll take a timeout at an inopportune time. Or maybe she’ll single you out even though you think a mistake on the court wasn’t entirely your fault.

Heck, perhaps a coach is just going to make a mistake. Many times, he or she will own up to it. I don’t know how many coaches have told me throughout my career as a sportswriter, “That’s on me. That was a bad coaching decision.”
