One more time, for clarity: We are talking about a college coach talking to girls paid to play softball. We are not talking about rec ball, HS or TB. Some of the girls are being paid the equivalent of $45,000 a year to play.
I was talking about executives at the top of large or middle size corporations. Those people will tell you, clearly, succinctly and often loudly, what they did not like.
As an FYI, if you want to stay and have regular communication with the top, you don't cover your head and run off to HR to complain. You either explain why they are wrong or you admit it. The top people want to be around other people who they can have frank, open and honest discussions and disagreements, without worrying about whether someone's feelings got hurt.
If a person can't take that kind of feedback, s/he should not try to move up the food chain and be happy to be insulated from real competition.
One of the biggest time wasters in softball at any level...
They are bullies plain and simple, and the jobs they have (being in charge, typically in middle ranks) stink.

It gives them a chance for input into the coaches "circle speech"
