I don't work a lot of V ball, but agree at the lower levels I show restraint. I always emphasize this at the Captain's Meeting......but, we all know how much the Captain's pay attention and carry the info back to the bench.
NOT to be a Topic stealer - but another clock related question.
FB game. A1 at the line shooting two. Misses first. B Coach is requesting time out between foul shots. For whatever reason, R and U don't see or hear request. Clock operator sees this and sounds horn alerting the officials. R approaches table. Clock alerts R. R grants TO. R tells clock operator not to do that again.
Clock operator said - ball was dead, they had information (similar to we have subs that need to come in, or we have a problem with the book) and it was a dead ball and as part of the "refereeing team" was bringing info to the R/U's attention. i.e - Just trying to help.
R was adament not to stop the game or do that again. Not the clocks job.
I looked it up and while I realize (a) it's the coaches responsibility to request a TO and it's not granted at the horn, and (b) it's not the clock ops job to do this at least from what I could read. Would you have a heartache with this at your games? Thanks
