NCAAW Baylor/Oregon State: Kim Mulkey behavior

[Raymond]

As I said earlier, if the coach wants to continue after I T him up all he's doing is giving me an opportunity to get some things off my chest.

I'd encourage her to take her coat off anytime she wanted.

I work NCAA as well and 101% of the time, whenever a technical foul is assessed to a head coach, the last thing you want to do is be by them or address them any further because they will have absolutely nothing objective to state to you at all, and NOTHING GOOD can come from it. . .

I do find it an irony where coaches want to talk after being hit with a T, but when I do it and report and they want to talk to me about it, I don't tell them "NO" and shut them down, I just tell them "NOT RIGHT NOW", and go away because again -- nothing good can happen from it. . .

The main thing you want to do after giving a technical foul (which is like any other call when its warranted), is to just resume play and move on. . .

The beauty of putting the ball in play is that coaches will get back to coaching and the game can move on

Totally agree with Rich's assessment he posted.

Agreed. So do you disagree with Bacon going to the table in this particular instance?

He only went there to report the technical foul he assessed and of course Mulkey is going to address him and whatnot while he's there doing it. . .

Right after he got done reporting, he went back opposite and then Mulkey went down to the baseline to blast on Mattingly about what she felt was illegal body contact, when she got zero response, then she went in Fountain's ear, but the main thing that diffused all of it was that play resumed.

I think Rich's point was that it's not even necessary to go to the table to report the T on the coach when it's blatantly obvious who you're whacking, as in this instance. I know I've called a T on a coach from opposite the table, and I just stay there and show the scorer the "T" signal followed by pointing to the coach.
