GV game tonight. Visiting head coach is notorious for bitching about just about everything. We pregame this and sure enough, my first whistle, she's all over me. It's honestly laughable. A couple calls later she yells at one of my partners. On the way down the court, I tell her, "Coach, we're going to make the calls and you're going to coach your team."
Still in the first quarter, I call another foul and she's on me again. Lining up for the free throws following my report, I say "That's enough, you're done." The good thing is, she backed off after that.
The bad thing is, both teams had assistants that I swear their only purpose was to "police" us. We're hearing "travel", "three seconds", etc., a lot more often than we should in a varsity game. Here's my question: I've already warned V's coach. Is this "advice" from the assistant on the bench enough to warrant a technical? In the home team's case, their coach hasn't said a word to us all night, then what is the proper way to address chirping from assistants?
