Where did I ever say he should suck up o the coach? The fact that he read that into it shows me a ton about his attitude. Players who are leaders, who have repect, and who will be positive members of a team will talk to the coach, not to "suck up" or kiss ass, but openly and honestly show their desire to be a part of the team.
Any good coach can tell the difference between a suck up and a leader, though both will make an effort to talk to the coach.
And anyway, that was point #5, and it only comes after you've established 1 through 4.
