Matthauing

verb
The act of consuming alcohol while actively serving as the coach of a Little League, high school, college, or zsupervised sports team.

A coach may be Matthauing before the game, during the game, at halftime, between innings, or immediately afterward. Common forms include sneaking off to the bar at halftime, keeping a mysterious beverage near the dugout, or treating the postgame handshake as the opening ceremony for happy hour.

The drink of choice is irrelevant. Beer, whiskey, cocktails, boxed wine — if you’re coaching and boozing, you’re Matthauing.

Inspired by Walter Matthau’s legendary, beer-drinking coach Morris Buttermaker in The Bad News Bears.
“Coach disappeared at halftime and came back smelling like the hotel bar. Dude was Matthauing hard.”

“We were down 14–0, so Coach started Matthauing before the third quarter.”

“Is that coffee in Coach’s thermos?”

“Nope. He’s Matthauing.”

“Little League game at noon, three beers by the fourth inning. Classic Matthauing.”
