then hes allowed on the court to be a coach -- if he wasnt coming after you guys after the timeout i think this sounds like a bad T.

i wasnt there but it sounds like he wanted a timeout and wanted to make sure you guys noticed him before you gave blue the ball -- fine with me give him a timeout -- if your partner called a t for him for coming on the court after you gave him a timeout i think you should tell your partner what happend and that he has a right to be out there to gather his players to his bench (this assuming he didnt come on the court to yell at you guys) -- then your partner needs to rescind the tech as it was a bad tech if thats the case and explain to the other coach what just happened. now if he keeps coming at you then T him up - as for saying im glad he got that t because i wished i t'd him up earlier then thats your fault for not t'ing him up earlier -- at this point it didnt sound like he was coming after you guys he just wanted a timeout and it was a dead ball so give him his timout -- what happened before this call was just that before this call and in looking back if you wished you should have t'd him up earlier then it needed to have been done when you initially felt like it.

but thats just my opinion -- as long as coaches are coaching their team i am very flexible with the coaching box -- if they star getting chirpy then i remind them of the box and if they continue then i T them up. but its better to be preventive and try and develop a relationship with coaches as courteous and not confrontational. most coaches know when they are about the get a t.
