As a coach I appreciate an official who will talk to me when it is clear we have a difference of opinion regarding a situation on the court, eventhough this is not required.

One of the posters above referred to a incident when a player on the bench kicked a chair in disgust. I think a justified T the way he/she described, but how do you determine when a player is upset with themselves and when they are upset with the refs when the actions aren't really directed at anyone? Does it matter? If they simply slam the chair with their fist is that less punishable/ignorable?

I have conflicting feelings on this: a) As a coach I demand my players respect every call and never question the officials - I tell them that is my job, but b)I like it when my players show a little emotion on the court. Where do you draw the line?

Thanks
