Rocky and Tome,
Nowhere did I say that the original poster had said the coach was professional and courteous, I said as long as the coach is, then I am more than willing to work with them. Sometimes it IS our job to get a coach to calm down and focus on the game. It may not be a part we necessarily LIKE, but it comes with the territory. In the original post, it would seem this coach needed some "technical" guidance, but what was done early in the game that allowed it to get out of hand? Could good game management have prevented this? I don't know. I merely pointed out my take on "technical fouls," and how I prefer to handle coaches.
Interesting enough, that has been my ding the past 3-4 years, because I WILL give a technical foul if a coach is not professional and courteous. In fact, it is one reason our local board decided to "hold me back" from getting Varsity games. Oh well . . . It forced me to become a better communicator, and my working relationships with coaches have never been better.
