some officials need this kind of black and white language however once again if my partner/s want to go by the book and insist this is an important piece of the game to manage that way I will certainly follow that however I do not feel that this is something to be managed most of the time -- like I said if the assistant is just getting up to tell timmy to hustle or pass the ball then sitting right back down I am not going to address that.
just me -- you can go ahead and do what you do and that is fine -- i do not think any less of you as an official. We just have different ways to manage games and people and what works for you might not work for me.
I have never had any issues with coaches, head or assisstant. If an assistant needs to be addressed I will at the earliest convienence. I have only T's up 2 coaches in 4 years of HS ball -- one was because of the assistant and one was the HC in a blowout because he was just frustraded and that T I tried to run from it as much as possible but hey in the end he earned it 100% no question about it.
Now let me add this disclaimer because so many people tend to read very much into things -- if the assistant is up more than the head coach or even as much as the HC then I would address it. If both HC and AC are standing I will address that. That usually gets the AC down for the whole game and most games the assistant stands up about once or twice. So in reality this isnt really an issue.
