Every time there is a discussion about behavior/ejections/technical fouls on this forum, you show up and preach about how important it is to communicate and be the bigger person. We get it, most of us have been doing this for a very long time and are well aware of how important it is to communicate. We don't need a tutorial every time the topic comes up.
If the coach doesn't want an explanation, why would you give it to him? If he knows what the kid said to get himself tossed, do you honestly think he needs you repeating it to him? If the coach needs an explanation, he'll ask for it. As BNR said, sometimes explanations aren't needed.
What "people" other than the head coach would need an explanation? The fans? The assistants?

If you understand the value of communication and have been officiating as long as you have, then you understand WHO in certain situations (please don't make the same mistake as others who have conveniently ignored the "in certain situations"-phrase I purposely used in my previous post) need an explanation.
btw, for those who aren't as skilled and experienced as SC Official, the "people" i refer to are head coaches and players. When I say players, I do not mean players sitting on the bench; former players who are sitting in the stands; or any other person other than this: the player directly involved in the play!
I hope that clears up any confusion that someone may have. Of course, I'm sure that there will be others to come along and mis-represent/mis-interpret this post despite my best communicative intentions.
