Coach the fact is that only referees know the rules. You should know that by now! How could we expect that a coach know the rules? how could we expect that a coach knows his players and knows what they do and say on the floor.? This is just impossible!!!
I have never called a T on a player, then told the coach why, and the coach says" yeah it figures", yanks the kid from the game and lectures him. Never happens
Face it, in all my years of refereeing I have never met a coach who actually taught me anything. I have never learned a thing about basketball from a coach. The only people who truly understand the game are us referees. Referees are never arrogant, always approachaable, and communcate appropriately every single game. In fact I know I there was a stretch there ( nearly 13 months) I did not make a bad call, nor did I miss one. I cant believe that we would ever make a mistake. The rules are clear, there is no room for interpretation or judgement.
and worse than all of this is the referees who actaully would believe all this.
We have too many officials who wont listen to a coach because a coach provides the coaching perspective... Go figure-
Keep up you insights! Does not matter if you ever stepped out on a floor and ever reffed a game. never has-never will!
