I asked this question before and it went ignored. Can someone tell me what is said to a coach or from a coach after a T other than information about the seatbelt rule? I hope this doesn't fall on deaf ears again. I would like to know actual experiences and not "what-ifs." Thank you.

Personally, I don't say anything to a coach other than telling them that they are seatbelted. If the coach does have a legitimate question and they ask it without putting on a show, I will answer him/her if I can- in 10 words or less. If they want a rule explained, I tell them to call a TO, or see me at an intermission or after the game. If the coach just wants to vent(which most of them do), they can vent to my back- and they'd better be sitting while they're venting too. If they cross "my" line while they're venting, then they'll get their 2nd T immediately- with no warning because the first T was their warning imo. As for talking to the other bench, unless there was also a quick, polite question being asked by the other head coach, I'd never dream of going anywhere near that bench. And again, all that they'd receive would be a very quick answer to their question. In my experience, when you've got an irate coach to deal with, the less said, the better. Hard to keep an argument going with only one person talking. [/B]

JR, where have you been hiding this post? I can live with what you just said entirely! I have no "except" to add. What you just said is what I'm talking about 
P.S. Can someone tell me the keystrokes for something besides  and  ?
