Handling Asst. Coaches

[JJ]

If an assistant wants to talk about a call, I will say, "I can't talk to you". Then I walk away from him, if I can. If he STILL wants to talk he'll do it as a fan because he will be ejected. That's happened once a season for the last few years.
If an assistant says "Hi", I'll say "Hi". No more, no less. I try to be civil to that extent, but we never CHAT about ANYTHING. NCAA assistants - and their head coaches - know those prescribed gound rules, so the ejection (when it happens) is never a surprise to either of them.
