What rules are we going to enforce? Are we going to give a T and penalize the kids for the actions of a coach against the kids? What in the world is that going to do?
And not only is this not make sense to me, what are you going to base this on? Are we only going to look at the use of profanity? What if the coach yells at a kid for doing something that the coach feels was not good judgement, are we going to say that is abuse?
I guess I look at this. You are treading down a slippery sloop in my opinion. I see many coaches do what was suggested, and did not hear any foul language or see them touch the players. Sometimes I feel that coaches need to yell to get a point across. And I have seen coaches do this to stop their players from fighting or talking to the officials in a disrespectful way. Are we going to T a coach for that?
As officials we cannot agree on when and if we should call things like 3 seconds. We have a rule that is clear in many ways, and you want people to take it upon themselves and hand out punishment that is going to hurt the kids in more ways than one. It is not like you can give a T and then give the ball back to the players of the coach you just T'd or ejected. Not seeing the point here. But I guess this is not the first time for that.
