*Coaches- like coxies and rowers- have all had their moments and said things that go down in team history- what are some of your favorites?*
My personal favorites are:
Coach to a novice coxie- "You got this much river on this side of the river [opens up his arms as wide as they can go] and this much river on this side [uses to fingers to show about an inch], where are you gunna go, huh? WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO GO?!?!"
Later that same practice to the varsity rowers who have now stopped listening to that poor novice coxie, coach says: "Your coxswain tells you to pick your nose, you pick it. And you wait until he says "flick" to flick the da**ed booger. You got that?!?"
Wise Ass in 2- "So coach, say I'm taking a rigger sh*t, I wait till he says "whipe in 2! 1-2-whipe!" ?"
Whole Boat- (cracks up)
Coach- (shakes his head, throws his megaphone down into the boat, fires up the launch and drives off muttering under his breath)
Coach had placed a rating cap of 30, stroke kept it at a 31-2 through the whole piece. Aftwerwards...
Coach- "What were you at?"
Coxie- "31-32, I had them lengthen it out but..."
Coach(interupst coxie and pulls up next to stroke)- "What did I tell you to take it at?"
Stroke- "a 30"
Coach- (throws hands up in the air and fixes stroke with 'the death look')
Stroke- "it felt good at the 32"
Coach- "The 32 'felt good'...WEll THEN MAYBE A 64 WILL FEEL TWICE AS GOOD!!!! Huh? You wana try a 64 next or do you want to actually take it at a 30 this time?!?!?!?!"
Stroke-(hangs his head)
Wise Ass in 2- "I dunno coach, but if you really think it will feel twice as good at the 64 then I'm all for trying it"
Whole Boat- (trys to hold it in but can't- they all crack up)
Coach- "Jesus Christ"(and then he laughs too, thank god)

I would have to say that my coaches are better seen then heard because they have been know to say pretty stupid stuff. My coach would drift away from us in his coach boat and drive as fast as he could singing the shaft song. He also liked doing Belly Rolls and well he isnt a lightweigt anymore. =P haha The best thing he ever said though was one time my crew was pulling a hard piece 3 days before school boy and all the sudden we just stopped. So our coach pulls up and asked what the hell we were doing and my crew was crying saying we hit a goose, hes dead and just carrying on. So my coach gets as close to the boat as he can and he asks us, "is a goose more important then winning a race, is a goose more important then a medal, is a goose so important that you will stop and have to make me beat you all with this paddle?" Well we had a stubborn crew and they all yelled yes, and then he picked up his paddle and 3 seat starts laughing because our coach enjoyed smashing the paddle on the side of the boat so it was all gone. After realizing this, our coach drove away and never talked to any of us until 30 minutes before we raced. hahaa

My coach is thinking of walking up to random people @ jr. worlds this year and making weird animal noises... I told him that if he does that he has to wear his Team Canada jacket.
