I’m not a fan of blanket rules about behavior. These are kids playing a demanding game, they’re not robots or clones. Some need to vent, some need to stew after a failure. You’ll never convince me that one reaction or another influences the outcome of the game, as long as they get over it quickly.
I feel the same way about coaches exhorting their players to cheer. Some kids like to make a racket, others not so much. It comes across to me like ego on the coaches part when they demand everyone line up on the fence at their command.
Every team has its own dynamic. On DD’s team, it’s not unusual for a player who pops up to be greeted with a “Dude, you suck” when they come back to the dugout. They laugh it off and the whole team knows it’s just a part of the game.
