[coach41]

Hi all,

Just officiated a freshman tournament championship game. The game was typical freshmen level stuff but did go into overtime with the final being 40-38.

However, in evaluating a few things after the game, I think I should have enforced the coaching box for the losing team's coach. He was out of the box and on the court quite often.

To be honest, despite having been around for a few years, I was a little lost as to how to get the coach to stay in the box. I warned him but he kept getting out of the box, especially, when his team was on the other end of the court.

What do most of you do to get coaches to stay in the box? In retrospect, while I'm not happy with how I handled it, I'm making sure I remember this so I know how to deal with coaches in the future.

Thanks for the input.
