Amazing what a ref learns just watching and listening.
The game developed into a "blow-out". Dominant team had a great trap press that led to easy layups. Loosing coach getting tense.
The coach's started bicking towards one another. It got more and more hostile. Winning team late in 3rd qtr up by 26 and still in full court press. The "barbs" back and fourth caught the R and U1 attention but they took no action. They worked the game.
I witnessed/heard insults, threats (we'll see you again..."), questions of sportsmanship, character for most of the second half between the coach's.
Question: Is interaction between both coach's within a referee's domain? Whats the call? Is this a "reported" issue?
Weird.

Absolutely within an official's domain.
We are there to MANAGE the game. If two coaches are going at it...I wouldn't say that was good game mangagement to allow the coaches to "taunt" each other.
POE...good sportsmanship! Coaches are not exempt from this.
Use your people skills and get these guys to knock it off.
If they want to continue, you can suggest we try the Assistant Coaches sportsmanship skills.
