Hello,

This topic is always a good one - some learn how to deal with coaches quicker than others.

It's a 13-year old girls youth tournament. An "OBA tournament" for all the Ontario-folk reading. I'm the R and 60 seconds in, as T table-side, I hear the defensive ***'t coach yelling "3 in the key", "how long?", "that's an illegal screen." Quick turnover, running as new L. After a trip back down to this end, I'm L again and I now have a foul to report. I pause the game for a sec and say to the head coach, "Coach, your ***'t is saying things that might be construed as being towards an official."

He said he would take care of it. He said something to the ***'t, and we never heard from them the rest of the game.

I was actually a little surprised that it worked.
