Agree. But once an official decides to charge such, said official should try to treat it just like any other foul. Report. Penalize. Play ball.

Except that if the response to any other foul is to stomp/complain/tirade the response is to T.

If we T and then walk away to avoid the "gotcha again T" then we re treating it like a very different foul regardless of how we try to approach it.

I guess I'm different, but if I T up a coach and they are still going at me I don't run away. I report and stay in my reporting area and deal with MY problem.

At the college level, this is also expected. I don't need a white knight to come to my rescue as I am an adult. If by me standing in my "reporting" area and trying to address the situation doesn't work the coach will most likely be done. It would take the coach to have approached my position, spoken loudly so multiple folks can hear what is said, and for them to have (a) said something not so nice and/or (b) not followed any requests I made (i.e. return to your bench please).

If a partner does want to walk a coach back, that's fine. But I'm not going to saddle, or expect, my partner to handle my issue and just report, turn an run. In the end my philosophy is we punish the coach's behavior, not feel guilty for doing our job.

I sure as hell won't approach the coach's bench, if I do step towards the coach it's because they are far out on the court and I'm returning them to their bench.

It irks me when a partner calls a T and the coach is laying into my partner and they just report, turn and run. Hey you called the T, if he needs a quick explanation, give it to him. If he doesn't then try like an adult to resolve the situation. If that fails toss him. Partners are there to help, not do my job.

Another March Tournament...another Mulkey Meltdown. This has become so predictable, it's almost a cliche. Rather than trying to decide whether the officials on her game have the stones or justification to toss her, I'm left wondering why her AD, conference and NCAA don't clamp down on her. I find it hard to believe her performance as a viewership draw (read:$$$) outweighs the negative light it casts on the school and her team.

I have to believe the officials assigned to the tournament silently hope that they don't get assigned to her games.

I don't remember if you work college men or college women, so it is possible you are expected to stay table side. However, I can tell you this is not the expectation or the accepted practice in NCAA-M. The expectation is that you report your foul and go opposite. You don't have to run away from the coach, but there is absolutely no need to stay table side for a direct technical foul called on the head coach. He doesn't need an explanation, he already knows exactly what he did or said to earn the technical foul.

I do NCAA-M. And I didn't say you have to stay. I said if a coach is going on at you, to not just walk away. I was at a D1 camp and my partner made a call, goes to report and the coach goes ballistic. He T's him up, and the coach steps about 3-4 more feet onto the court to berate my partner.

My thinking, "hey good time to help" goes to help and the clinician yelled at me to get back and let my partner deal with the situation.

Partner ended up tossing the coach. After the game the clinician said, and I don't remember his name, but he's a final 4 official, something along the lines of. If you T up a coach and they continue into you it's your responsibility to deal with that coach. Don't go into his bench area, or huddle, but if hes out after you deal with it.

I completely agree. In most cases you report and leave as the coach will do their usual mumbling so you go away.

Dealing with a coach who continues to act like an ass, after you have already given him a T, most likely by giving him another T, is something that you absolutely should do. However, it is not the same as staying in the reporting area to offer a coach an explanation for the first T. The latter is something that should never be done.

I'll never understand why officials feel the need to "go to the table" after clearly and unambiguously whacking a head coach.
