I'm new to officiating, but my inclination is to call technicals on any coach that sets a bad example for her/his team (questioning calls, complaining, constantly yelling and persistently giving instruction at every step - pivot! pass! shoot!). My feeling is that many coaches treat rec ball like it's a matter of life and death, which puts a lot of pressure on the kids and makes the experience unpleasurable.
Having said that (I have not given any Ts yet), I cannot give a T to a coach for yelling instructions to his/her team or just for being crazy howler monkey.
I'm trying to find the line. How many calls can a coach question? Do you give a T to a kid for repeatedly questioning calls?
