Whacked my first of the season tonight
Coach was whining all night. Whatever, I can handle that. Gets animated about a couple, raising his voice. I'm not large and he played D1 as a lineman so he is known for trying to bully his way into calls. He's yelling about a foul at one point (screaming and carrying on). I say "coach, enough." He stops, but I know more is coming. His girl goes in out of control and I don't hit my whistle because defender had LGP and his girl went into her while she's backpedling. All of a sudden I hear his clipboard smack the floor HARD. I knew exactly what he did and whacked him. My partner at halftime said "Man, I was gonna hit him with the Boston Tea Party but before I could even get the breath to hit the whistle, you were already done with the T and telling him to put his seatbelt on." I'm normally slow to T them up, and try not to be a dick but that was a no brainer. Hope you guys have a good Friday night slate of games!

Takin' care of business isn't being a dick. They are the ones being a dick with the poor behaviour. You just happen to be the one telling them they can't do that. |

Do you think it is because they will get a rep and their arbiter might think they have a fast whistle? I am sure it goes through the minds of a lot. And why we must have a line that our leadership agrees with.

Don't have a huge problem? Sounds like you have zero problem no-look whackin' coaches.

He was the only guy with a clipboard. A clipboard that falls out of the hands doesn't echo like that. That was a no-doubter. Should I have looked first? That's an honest question.

You waited way too long to handle this. Let me share with you how I would have dealt with this coach.

But the advice above is good. Shut down the whining early, warn, and then whack if that's what's called for. |

The recommended procedure in my area when you T a coach is to report the foul and walk away. Let your partner remind him that he needs to take a seat while the free throws are being administered. This helps diffuse the situation rather than potentially escallating to a second T.

I recommend that no official goes near the coach while the free throws are being attempted. A coach is going to vent and will likely not sit down immediately -- there's no reason to throw fuel on the fire.
If the coach isn't seated by the time we're ready to move on, then one of the non-calling officials needs to slide over there and remind him. Most times this isn't necessary. |
