Would you have chosen this option?

So you call a marginal travel against the team getting beat in a game they aren't going to win right in front of your partner and then worry about the coach's reaction? I'm surprised your partner didn't throw his hands in the air in and walk off the court as well.

Just saying.

Marginal? In two man, this is the T's call.

I would have addressed it similarly, I think. Quietly get close to the bench and say so just he hears, "I can't have you doing that."

Was this a two man game...then yes, my apologies.

At a camp this past summer a very good NCAA Women's official put it this way - you have to understand the difference between spontaneous reaction and premeditated. We need to get the premeditated and use our judgement on spontaneous. The OP seemed like a spontaneous reaction and one that probably needed us to have a quiet conversation with the coach as Adam stated above.

This is a rising issue I've seen in my area and I honestly find it disgusting. No matter how horrible I find a partners' call, I'm still going to have his back.

This is a pretty easy wack for me if he throws up his arms and walks out of his box into the stands to sit down. Better to fix attitudes sooner than later and shows respect for officials down the road who will have to deal with it if you don't.

Wrong. We want to punish coaches and players for their bad behavior, but from this description and the fact the coach realized what he did was unacceptable (and not a huge deal from what I read) NOT calling the T strengthens the relationship.

No if this was a heated game then this is an auto T. I say that also knowing I would not reach across court for a close travel call. I would have other more pressing issues on the court and having my partner and I both looking at the same spot.

So if a coach knows he's misbehaving it justifies not giving a T?

You will find that doing the opposite of what deecee posts on this forum is often the right path.

All this over a travel/foul call? OK.

Useless communication, what's the point of this?

This is such an easy T. There's zero improvements to the game treating coaches like mother-in-laws.

It's not just you out there, but your entire association. New refs have to deal with off-the-wall coaches because vets take this whole "coach relationship" way too far. Be professional and make the correct calls. The coaches can respect you or sit down.

these were 1A schools in Texas. That classification was just changed so that football and all the other sports would be in an actual class. Previously it was called something else (can't remember) because they play 6-man football.

It WAS 1A, and still is. Has been since 1980 when they eliminated Class B and went from 1-5A. Starting with the 2014-15 season, they added a 6A. What they did do, and what I think you're talking about, is that there is no more 1A 11-man football. All 1A schools play 6 man football (or perhaps don't play football). I'm sure there was some reorganization with small schools that played 11 man football and used to be in 1A, but other than moving schools around, that didn't affect basketball.

Previously, schools that played 11-man football and 6-man football might have been in the same 1A district for basketball and other sports.
