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.
