Our commish says "an appropriate question will be answered at the appropriate time in the appropriate manner." I love that. I even tell coaches that with a smile in our pregame meeting, "You know I'll always answer an appropriate question at the appropriate time in the appropriate manner. Of course, when I am sprinting back to cover the fast break probably isnt the approrpiate time for us to discuss the call you think I just missed. [smile]." That gets a laugh.
I usually also remind them that if they think there is a time, score, AP or other correctable error (that is correctable under 2-10) to call a time out and we can discuss it and if they are right they dont lose the time out. (you'd be surprised how many coaches dont know this, rule 5-8-4 and 5-11-3(b)). I remind them of this because sometimes we do make mistakes. And I'd hate for a coach to wind up with a T because he or she was frustrated with a mistake I made.
