Just a rough night...

I checked with local basketball official and he said jacket on court = T and jacket on bench = no T. "You're crazy" would be ignored...don't have rabbit ears.

Nothing wrong with how you handle it in your area. Just sharing how one local official would handle it here.

Your local basketball contact doesn't know what rabbit ears means. A coach talking to you, yelling, from across the court, is not rabbit ears by even the most generous definition.

There are local officials everywhere who are afraid of coaches and won't make this call. They're wrong, IMO.

How is you're crazy not personal and not unsporting?

Speaking of crazy that is plain nuts...

I'm going take a wild guess and say that "local official" is someone that would be on my block list after working with him one time. Sounds like an official that doesn't have the balls to take care of business.

And you and your local official don't know what "rabbit ears" means. No pun intended, but you're crazy if you think that penalizing a coach for screaming at you is having "rabbit ears."

....

It's not rabbit ears when it is yelled at you. That's normal cognitive behavior.
