Here is my answer, "I try to treat people the way that I want to be treated"
The Lord taught us that a long time ago.
I emphasize TRY because in no way am I perfect.

i agree with TVT50, you have treat others how you want to be treated. You have to get the parents and students involved in a positive way, but still keeping them seperate from the actual coaching and decision making on the team. You always have to respect the game officials, they are trying their best. Chat it up with them and joke around with them to keep the mood loose and the communication lines open. When I think about talking to the media I think of Bruce pearl from Tennessee' mens basketball. He is a great interview because he tells the truth. He doesn't dodge questions. he answer everythign how he feels in a humble manner. and opponents you have to respect them for they are playing the game for the same reason you are. You may not like them, but don't set a bad example of sportsmanship by showing poor sportsmanship towars the other team.

i think you have to be who you are. a lot of people do not like bobby knight cause of how he approaches things. bobby is always honest and says what he feels. he just goes about it in a harsh way.
I tell people I am willing to listen to their viewpoint until they become personal. i fyou call a sob, the conversation is over. I do not have to be abused and nor will I abuse you. I might say some things you might not like to hear but I will go about it in a way which is not threatening.

Here is my two cents then
a) That's the 64.000 dollar question
b) speak at pep rallies, encourage them to attend games, ask for their support, make a point to complement other sports
c) show them that I'm serious about kids behaving in class and striving for better grades thru our team point system
d) I send letters home 2-3 times/year for parents, try to be professional in the newspaper, promote our program in the newspaper
e) I was a hoops official for a brief time. It's a thankless job. I try to keep perspective.
f) I've been on both sides of wins and losses, close games and a$$ kickings. Communicate with the coach before the game about scouting. Shake his hand regardless after the game. Remember its just a game.
Good Luck

Active positive communication. Schedule meetings with players and parents prior to the season. Have team/position meetings during the week that are as much social as they are football. Have a couple of pizza and video meetings with parents/fans during the year to let them know you "care" about them. Go into the cafeteria and sit down with studenst to chat - has to be sincere, not staged to work. Hold little kid camps/clinics in the elementary schools and the community. It's a whole bunch of little things that add up to how you are perceived in the community and the school. Believe me, I know from doing enough wrong things over the years to try and do a better job each season!
