It's just depending on the personality of the coach. A younger coach might tolerate more then an older guy could.

I agree, it depends on the coach's personality and what sport it is. I'm more strict coaching football than track & field.

I like to keep things fun and loose, but at the same time, I make sure my guys know where the limit is and they know that their ultimately responsible for their actions, so when they cross the line, they know my punishment is fair, whether they like it or not.

Some people think I'm not strict enough, some think I can be too strict so it doesn't work for everybody. But that's who I am, I'm their coach, not their teacher, but not their friend either.
