2) Since you only charged him with a techncial foul for unsportsmanlike conduct, I would like to know what your partner was doing while Coach V was throwing more words at you on his way back to his team's bench. If Coach V was still running his mouth at you, then your partner should have been the "good cop" so to speak and explain to Coach V that if he doesn't cool down he is going to get his second technical foul from him and not you.

IF YOUR PARTNER CALLS A T ON A COACH DO NOT GO TO THAT COACH AND CONSOLE HIM. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO EXPLAIN WHY HE GOT A T, YOU DIDN'T GIVE IT TO HIM ANYWAY!

I would not want my partner to go baby sit the coach. If the coach doesn't sit down, then my partner should inform him he is to remain seated. If coach wants to talk, No coach not now and walk away. You are still being respectful and sending a message that his actions were unacceptable to all officials. [/B]

I get the feeling that some of you think that if my partner whacked a coach, I am going over and console the coach:
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!
When an official whacks a head coach the following things have to happen in following order:
1) He needs to get away from the coach.
2) He needs to get with his partner(s) and let them know
what happened.
3) While he is reporting the technical foul, another
member of the officiating crew needs to go to the coach
and do the following in this order:
In a professional manner and tone:
a) Inform the coach, why he received a technical
foul, be brief and do not discuss the foul with
the coach.
b) Inform the coach that he has lost his coaching
box privileges.
c) Inform the coach that he will be disqualified
and ejected if he receives another direct
technical foul.
This should take no longer that it will take for the
calling official to report the foul and make sure the
direct technical foul is counted against the team's
seven and ten for a half and to get a shooter from
the shooting team.
4) Shoot the free throws and administer the throw-in.
5) Only bad things happen when the ball is dead, and dead
ball efficiency is important when a head coach receives
a technical foul. The best thing that one can do is to
get the ball back into play without sacrificing
efficiency.
