Any behavior deemed unsportsmanlike, whether it is directed at someone, simply said aloud, or executed in some other demonstrative way, will result in that person being asked to leave. The simple explanation of the expectation is this, “If you don’t have something nice to say, just keep your mouth shut.” Coaches, keep your cool. Things don’t always go your way. Sometimes they go wrong in your favor, and other times they don’t. Water off a duck’s back. Do what we tell our players; move onto the next point.
