Coaches on the Junior High level arent really a problem. I deal with them when I work the clock because they love to say "Ur not starting the clock fast enough" (after an ENTIRE HALF of this crap the ref told the coach "that the next time you something, he is going to buz me over and I will issue a technical foul. He is just as much as an official as I am. He's a better clock worker than the adults you have at your school. He works by the book so leave him alone." ANother constant battle is the coach not getting subs to the table on time. There screaming sub and according the sheet that the refs handed me the first game of the season that if i Dont visually have a player kneeling infront of the table that has checked in with the offical scorer dont call for sub. So i start the clock and the coaches give me eyes. I slide that sheet to the end of the table with that part highlighted and they look at it and just shut up for the rest of game. Next dead ball there players are infront of the table. Its nice. I can handle Junior high coaches in this area. Now REC ball is a different situation. We had a rec ball turny at the junior high and i was summoned to work the clock. In one day (10 games) 7 coaches had techs on them with one ejection. I'm considering rec ball next year but Im going to try and get in an assc. first where i can get some JH games.
