Conversation with a coach during a game is something that will always occur. Somtimes that exchange of information between a coach and official is conversational and sometimes it is not. When and where to draw the line is debatable and depends on many variables. When you're made the decision to let the coach know you've heard enough, let him or her know visually as well as verbally. While verbally informaing the coach enough is enough, give the coach the stop sign. By giving the coach warning verbally and visually, your physical actions will be on tape. If the coach crosses the proverbial line after that point, you'll be on the record as giving a warning to the coach.
Read it and weep. Now I know you and JR will probably switch this to mean something else like you did my 3 second interrupted dribble in the lane. But that's okay because I know what I'm going to call and do in both these situations.

Um, Old School, whatinthehell
is the NFHS Official Publication Basketball Guide 04-05?
Let me explain this to you real s-l-o-w-l-y.....
POE is short for "Points of Emphasis". POE's are found every year at the back of the NFHS
rule book, right after Rule 10. They are also posted on the NFHS web site. They are
not posted in the NFHS casebook, manual, comic book, etc.
Now, take a while and try to comprehend that.
Ready yet?
Not yet, eh?
How about now?
OK, we'll try to go a little further then. I am looking at the 2004-05 POE's found on pages 69 to 71 in the NFHS 2004-05 rule book.
Nowhere in those POE's can be found
any mention of stop sign usage. Further, I also have
all of the rule book and associated POE's from 2000-01 on, and in
NONE of them is found anything relating to stop sign usage either. And, for your further edification, page 6 of the 2004-05 rulebook shows the pictures of the people serving on that year's rules committee.
Now, knowing that you have never owned an NFHS rulebook in your entire officiating career/life, are you sure that you're not looking at something that your rec league maybe gave to you? You sureashell are
NOT looking at any POE related to "stop signs".
It might help if you actually knew what a POE was in the first place too.
