For me, this is a perfect example of not being prepared for the worst. I have heard officials say that coaches are problems, not problems and many other things. We should be prepared to handle the situation for that particular game. It doesn't matter how coaches normally act if they are acting like a fool on a particular night.

It was my turn.....to have a howler monkey. That's all I meant by my admittedly vague title.
I don't go into a game being prepared for the worst. To me it then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Every coach is assumed to be a professional, adult person until he/she proves otherwise.
I get a coach like this maybe twice a year at most. Having both officials try once (after ignoring the comment the first time or two to see if he'd settle in)to work with a coach neither of us has seen before and then calling a technical at the end of the first quarter isn't being prepared to handle situations? Tough crowd, Tom.
Yeah, I am slower to respond than some on this board, it appears.
