So it is a good thing to believe you see everything with eyes in the back of your head, but I think unless he was doing it on the same side of the court you were actually officiating, it would be hard to take that position. I also did not say he should not be T’d up. I just said it was unlikely the officials saw a lot of this. And much of where he was standing was within the basic box.

Maybe it's just me, but I am more likely to hear a coach if I am working table-side. But I'm more likely to see a coach if I'm working opposite. If I'm table-side, but at the other end from the coach, my attention is turned away from, and my back towards, the coach. However, if I'm opposite, it's far more likely that I'll see through a play and notice the coach, no matter which end I'm at.

Just my $0.02
