We talked about this at length last night
at our unit meeting.
A coach actually called our assignor to complain that he was being belligerant and wanted a T and the officials wouldn't give him one. We spent a lot of time talking about how the officials aren't giving T's to coaches. We are too intimidated.
We reviewed section 5 (?) that says the coach can only stand up to do three things (I believe). Basically they can call a time out or celebrate a play, then they are supposed to sit down.
Now practically, we let them stand if they are coaching. But my partners and I pre-game the three step rule outlined above: 1) coach I hear you; 2) coach, please stop officiating (with stop sign); 3) whack.
Do this ealy in the game when they start setting a pattern of chirping. Generally you know by the second period the personality of the coach and can respond accordingly.
My partner or I have only T'd two coaches in my 2.5 years of high school ball, but generally the coaches around here are pretty well behaved.
