Respect for the field is an important perception in my mind. Most of the public lack respect for the field and many athletes/coaches/officials only respect the field when it is convenient for them. Turfgrass is much like a human being. It is able to put up with an extraordinary amount of abuse; however both can be so fragile depending on the timing. What drives me nuts?
