Hey Zebra,
If I remember correctly. There was a T given on a coach. A time out was asked for. Before even reporting the T to the table, he hits the whistle and signals the time out. Walks to his partner to discuss the T, reports the T while his partner is getting the away team out of the huddle to shoot the Technical shots. If memory serves me, this is out of order. The Technical free throws should have been shot before the time out is granted. (much less reporting out of order)
Not correct. Yes, the official should have reported the T to the table before granting the T.O., but the free throws would be shot after the time-out.
I am saying that I always appreciate someone helping me get better. Telling me I did great, no problems is crap. Telling me some rhetoric and giving generic feedback does me no good. There are good officials that can watch a game and identify sincere shortcomings. I want that feedback. Then I get better.
I'm with you in regards to getting input... I love the feedback. When the JV officials stick around for my V game, I always ask them to find something I need to improve on and have them come in at halftime. However, I have also experienced the "pleasure" of having officials who want to argue or make excuses when you are trying to give them some feedback (even though I always preface it with some good things that they are excelling at). So I don't give feedback anymore unless an official gives me an indication that they want feedback. The officials who are genuinely concerned about improving almost always ask for some input.
