I’ve been on the receiving end of something like that, directed at me personally. True story: I was in 9th grade, My eye sight was getting to the point where I needed contacts or glasses. There was about 2.5 seconds left in the half and my coach called an inbounds play under the basket. I called a different play bc I couldn’t see the hand signal play call. We didn’t execute and the half ended with a turnover or something. He went off on me in front of the entire team, threw a marker at me, called me every name in the book, it was a complete dressing down. To this day I don’t know how I held it together, but my teammates respected the hell out of me for taking it and then going out and playing a mistake free half.
