[Dudly]

I hate the "tip" signal. What does that do? If it is a tip, block, tap, slap, etc and all ball then so what? If it is a foul then the whistle stops the play.
I learned that the stupid way by signalling the "tip" at the same time my partner had the foul. He was right, I was wrong.

As for the coach...calmly give him a T. My boys coach decided to belittle the official by telling his team to "just take the ball, he ain't going to call anything" He did this during a timeout and loud enough for the entire gym to here. This is a city league and 11 yr old boys playing. The officials were some of the high school jv players.

Had a talk with the coach afterwards about professionalism and setting a good example for the boys, then had a talk with my son about how a coach should conduct himself.

My point here is to stop the coach now.
