Re: >>>>> RIT TIGERS 2009-2010 <<<<< Rockin' The Ritter For Another Year
Wilson took a 2 minute unsportsmanlike conduct penalty earlier this year, I think it was against UCONN at home, he was arguing with Jim Visconte, I guessing about face off management which was horrible that game. Odd part was the Tigers were up like 5-1 at that point and the game was in hand. He does have his moments, last home game I heard him clear from the blue line yelling “Who hit who” on a penalty called on RIT.
It was observed that Tony LaRussa became less animated not long after becoming the Manager of the Saint Louis Cardinals. He was asked about that and he said something to the effect of that he had learn, you just can’t argue with them and get anywhere.
As an Umpire who has done plenty of College Summer league and amateur ball I can tell you, all that yelling doesn’t get you anywhere unless you have a very bad official who is not going last long as an official. I’ve told managers and players straight out, you can come talk and question me about anything. But you start playing games with me, you start showing me up, you get nothing from me. Everyone always thinks an argument wins a make up call. It is the biggest false belief out there. I can sit here and honestly tell you that I have never made a call thinking, “oh I gotta call it this way or I’ll get yelled at again”. One Time in 15 years of Umpiring, I remember making a call and thinking right before the call, “I’m going to catch hell for this One”. But I still called what my eyes told me to call.
I personally like a coach who maintains his composer. In every sport I’ve watched I seen coaches get too caught up in yelling at a ref, instead of his most important job, thinking what his next move will be. Wayne has always backed up his players; he saves most of his emotion for the room where it should be, between his and his players. He expects his players to be up for the game and to lead, especially his captions.
As for Burt and Favot being out of the line up, it seems obvious to me to be a suspension for team rules or something like that…
