Ace,
If there is ANY outward action of disgust directed towards YOU or YOUR CALL by a player, "T" it up. I have FAR less leash for players than I do for coaches. Don't get in the habit of using "over the back" as either a verbage or a call. Everyone thinks that there is some kind of plane rule in rebounding and there flat out ISN'T! One thing to also keep in mind in refereeing rebounding is the trajectory of the ball. Say for instance a defensive player is in the inside of the offense blocking out, but the ball bounces hard off the back iron, and clears the inside defender. Now the offense seems to be blocking out the defense due to the trajectory of the ball. If the defense, who started out on the inside "jumps back" into the offensive player, you can and should have a foul on the defense. Remember that.
Oh Oh...when dealing with coaches, if they wan't to talk, usually it can be done during a time out, but use your better judgement. You don't want to carry on a conversation during live ball play, because frankly, heck you have a game to officiate!! It is not REQUIRED to call a time out to talk to you, but keep it brief, and in areas of judgement, just use quick replies like "that isn't what I saw coach" and move on.
