Re: Professionalism for coaches
Missouri, of all places, actually has a good rule about protests. After a team has a second unsuccessful protest in a match, it cannot protest for the rest of that match. That way, real protests can be let through while frivolous protests are soon stopped.

Stop complaining and start studying/practicing. That way, you'll fare better against the Charter teams and your C team won't be dead last in the national Byko ratings. I know from experience about wasting time and energy on griping and complaining; it isn't worth it.
