Look at the sideline ethics rules - no coaching.
Funny to see Stoddard having rules.... some of the worst sideline defenders I saw.

If the answer to any of those questions is "no", back off. The coach must hate you. The other parents also probably think it's awful... unless that's just how most parents are nowadays.
really, you need to chill, it's not like i committed murder or something.
as i said in OP, i saw the other sub goalie's dad did it and thought that's a good idea so i did too. neither of us murdered anybody. and i'll bet my lunch money nobody 'hated' either of us.
you sound like someone trying so hard to keep your mouth shut and emotions bottled in at the games then letting all your anger, disgust and frustration out on someone on an anonymous message board. you ain't much better than me, contrary to what you think.

They didn't hate you. They just thought you were a total douche. But if you're OK with that, keep doing it. Lots of total douches revel in their douchery.

I guess the answer to all of his questions would be no?
Stop defending what you did. No it wasn't murder, just don't coach from the sideline anymore. Jeesh
wasn't even defending anything. you asked why it occurred to me and i answered. guess i should've just ignored you, which i'll do now and let this thread die of its nature course.

The time to coach a kid is in practice - never in a game. A quiet coach during a soccer game is a skilled one.
Take some soccer coaching classes - they're fun and informative.
I hate that many rec leagues don't require any coaching courses.
Seriously, our rec coach is a million times better than my other kid's travel coach.
The travel kid has a micromanaging screamer during games that does not let players figure things out for themselves...add in the sideline coaching from the dads and my head is about to explode.
What club is that? Some clubs have no real identity or organization.
