In actuality, we had the same concerns about putting the calling official next to the coaches, but in reality the T's given to coaches in these instances went down. It seems that a coach would rather talk to you then have to scream across a court to get your attention. It also puts a little onus on the official to be a professional and have the ability to explain any call he/she makes. Now having said that, we are anxious to see how the HS coaches react to this change. They seem to be a little more "passionate" then College coaches at times.

I will be anxious to try it out. To have some of our more obnoxiously passionate coaches step up to the official's level of professionalism would be a welcome change. Anything that promotes this change in attitude is surely worth a try.

Coaches definitely are passionate. When I'm done with their game I move on to the next assignment, next coach, next set of fans... the coach however, must go back to the same group of players, parents, school, fans etc. There is reason for their "passion..."
