Mark,
I always look forward to reading your posts. Like you, I keep the book as much as I officiate, and you bring another point of view to the game.
My question for you is: Right or wrong on sitting versus standing, why were you talking to the coach in the first place? Not trying to be smart with you. I've been in your shoes many times and have decided to keep my mouth shut.
Generally speaking, I'm one of the last persons from whom the coach wants to hear unsolicited comments. Whether it's the officials on the floor or a coach by the bench, the only time I'm talking is if addressed first by them or if there's a problem that I need to bring to someone's attention.
I understand that it's difficult to keep quiet when ignorance shows, but I think that's the best policy during the course of the game.
Opinions?
Sven
