Best excuses youve heard (from players or not)

[doublerods]

Cant stay for practice gotta watch my sister
My brother doesn't have a key so i have to go home to let him in
I have to go get my tux for prom
I had tutorials (failing 6 out of 7 classes)
My mom said it was too hot out

cannot come to practice homecoming week because we have to help make floats for the parade

[The Chef]

Best excuse of all time: I had a kid not play an entire season because he wanted to concentrate on being a better shot and disc thrower, he finished last in conference. I guess he couldn't get worse.

dog would say it is the student's decision and you should not be a bully coach, when i played we had an old michigan olineman as coach and he lost it when somebody said they missed practice the previous day because he got a shot

[Dog the Bounty Hunter]

I wouldn't say that.....I only advocate that it is a coaches responsibility to nuture

[Junior]

so chef should have nurtured the student's desire to be the best thrower he can, since that is what the student wanted?

[Dog the Bounty Hunter]

Yes. It's not always about winning or losing, especially at this level.

[Junior]

developing young mind's, but do you practice what you preach

[Dog the Bounty Hunter]

For the most part, but again, I'm just a man and we all fall short of His glory.

[The Chef]

forums are to let others speak for themselves. give and take if you will.

[Junior]

[The Chef]

no, just don't act like a cyber bully.

[Junior]

abuse can be verbal too, it is all about control
