BTW, having been thru the exact scenario I described in my previous post, I think it's best to ask which T.O. they want and if they don't let me know, I just wait to see whether they're sitting or standing and I've got my answer. When it happens to you, it will be interesting to see what the answer to the "what would you have done differently?" question you should ask after every game that includes a Technical.
Some officials really don't care what coaches think. They also aren't afraid to enforce the rules if they run into a surly coach

Other officials are different.

If you feel that your way works for you, knock yourself out. Personally, I do what Rich does. Btw, we teach our officials to use Rich's procedure too. Why? Because that was what the FED directed us to do. Just saying.
